Region: Isle of France

The Ile-de-France is the beating heart of France, a region that revolves around its dazzling capital, Paris, but offers much beyond its borders. Cradle of the French monarchy, its forests and valleys are dotted with majestic palaces and castles such as Versailles and Fontainebleau, which tell centuries of history. It is the epicenter of art, from the masterpieces of the Louvre to the birth of Impressionism in its surroundings. Despite its urban density, the region is home to vast forests, parks and gardens that offer a respite from the city's vibrant energy. It is a destination that perfectly combines monumental grandeur, bohemian charm and cultural sophistication.

Flavors of Isle of France

The gastronomy of the Ile-de-France is a reflection of Paris itself: a center that attracts the best of all French regions, but with a strong identity based on its bistros, brasseries, bakeries (boulangeries) and pastry shops (pâtisseries).

Must-Try Dishes

Onion Soup (Soupe à l'oignon gratinée)

A comforting classic of Parisian bistros. A rich caramelized onion soup, served in a bowl with a slice of bread covered with gratin Gruyère cheese.

Steak Frites

The dish par excellence of brasseries. A quality beef fillet, cooked to the desired doneness and accompanied by a generous portion of home-made fries.

Croque Monsieur / Madame

The quintessential Parisian café sandwich. Sliced ​​bread with cooked ham and cheese, baked in the oven with bechamel. The Croque Madame is also served with a fried egg on top.

Jambon-Beurre

Simplicity made perfection. A freshly made half baguette, spread with butter and filled with 'Jambon de Paris' (high quality cooked ham). The favorite quick lunch of Parisians.

Cheeses (Brie de Meaux, Brie de Melun)

The region is the birthplace of two of the most famous cheeses in the world, Brie de Meaux and Brie de Melun, both with protected designation of origin.
