Discovering the "Pays Gourmand
A new label to surprise you, again and again, with the thousand and one flavours of France and its artists of good taste...
Gastronomic tourism, a new way to travel
Savor the hidden treasures of each region, discover the artisans of the past and the new generation of taste cultivators... An inexhaustible source of inspiration for Gault&Millau, which today unveils a new label, "Pays Gourmand", as a tribute to those who make up the richness of our terroir.
