to preserve their food heritage in:

France

The people of France win the first national award for their successful dedication to preserving their culinary traditions and history at all levels, through national initiatives such as Sites Remarquables du Gout, Sites of Exceptional Culinary Taste, as well as regional food-focussed tourism undertakings. France boasts more food-related museums and sites than any other country. The French people's continuing love of their land, farm and food traditions is manifest in their support of countless societies dedicated to promotion of local specialites, their patronage of local fresh food markets, and their willingness to financially sustain rural areas and quality food ingredients. Here are some of the many examples of French Food Heritage Sites.
