The bons vivants of Jura & Franche Comté - Gueuleton


Here, Vincent and Arthur are learning all about the infamous Poulet de Bresse, (the chicken you need a mortgage to buy).

The Jura region is on the Eastern border of France, where it meets Switzerland; you may have seen some of its beauty recently during the Tour de France. Like everywhere else here, they love their food and wine. You even get English subtitles with this one.

As you can see, they do nothing but eat and drink; drink and eat! Nothing changes.

  1. What a life! I want to go there. I never saw that Scottish breed of cattle before. I read recently that French wineries were being adversely affected by climate change.

    1. I'm sure they are. I've even heard that some of the bigger Champagne estates are buying land in the UK!!!

  2. What a wonderful job they have: eat, drink and be merry...and get paid for it.

  3. France has superb local produce. And that wine!! O la la. Wonderful to see them making their local specialities with so much pride and humour. I just wish I could taste it too.

    1. That is the true taste of France; I'm afraid that most restaurants have now lost the plot!

  4. I just watched the video and enjoyed it. I know my younger son will too, so I sent him a message, he loves meats and cheeses and wines. I hope he gets to watch it.
