The Goût de France initiative

Goût de France/ Good France was created by Laurent Fabius, former Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Development, and Alain Ducasse, a star chef. It is a global event paying a tribute to the excellence of French cuisine, to its capacity for innovation and to the values it conveys: sharing, pleasure and respect of the "eat well" trend, its current chefs and the planet.

Goût de France in Algeria

The operation in Algeria is a major one, and on the 21^st of March, throughout the country, many French and Algerian chefs will be busy cooking recipes that draw inspiration from French traditions, but also pay a tribute to the Algerian heritage.

The French embassy in Algeria and the French Institute in Algeria designed a rich programme dedicated to French cuisine, for the greatest happiness of our tongues.
