The wine and the champagne are the preferred drinks to pair with Michelin star dishes. The climatic and geographical diversity of the country allows a rich variety of wines with a designation of origin, ranging from Bordeaux to Burgundy. The south of the country, bathed by the Mediterranean, is an important influence on its gastronomy. Try some ratatouille, fondue, cassoulet, croque Madames, Boeuf Bourguignon or the traditional coq au vin. Those with a sweet tooth, go for a nice chocolate soufflé or a delicious tarte tatin.
