7. Celebrate French gastronomy with this year’s Gout de France, 21 – 24 March 

Gout de France, or Good France, is back for its 5th year. If you haven’t heard of it, Good France is the brainchild of the French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs and Chef Alain Ducasse. It was Inspired by Auguste Escoffier, who launched the “Diners d’Epicure” (Epicurean Dinners) initiative in 1912 where selected restaurants would offer the same menu, on the same day, in several cities around the world.
