The Fête de la Gastronomie (an event I have been covering since the very first edition), renamed this year to Goût de France/ Good France, will take place this year on Friday the 21st, Saturday the 22nd, and Sunday the 23rd of September 2018.
The theme for this 8th edition will be “Taste in all its senses” and will highlight the product cycle, from the farm to the plate. To embody this theme, Fanny Rey, Female Chef of the Year 2017, will be the patron of this 2018 edition.
Many events are planned throughout France and also abroad!
On the program, therefore, is a great variety of events across the territories: popular banquets, picnics, tastings, special menus in restaurants and school canteens, company or farm visits, exhibitions, conferences, or even street performances.

The little Parisian selection from Melle Bon Plan
As usual, I tried to dig into the program to offer you a small selection of gourmet events in Paris. In addition, all events will be visible and listed by theme and by day on the MAPSTR application, on the official Goût de France map, where I am also present and through which I share my favorite addresses.
