France Food & Etiquette Guide 2026 | The Art de Vivre, Regional Cuisine & Wine Explained

Planning a trip to France? Before you book restaurants or queue for monuments, understand the real secret to France: the art de vivre. In this episode of The Audio Travel Guide, we decode the unwritten rules that can make or break your trip — from the mandatory bonjour rule to strict meal times, tipping etiquette, and why talking about money is considered rude. Then we travel across France’s culinary map: • Lyon’s traditional bouchons • Marseille’s authentic bouillabaisse ritual • Alsace’s German-influenced comfort food • Southwest duck dishes and cassoulet • Brittany’s galettes and cider • How to actually order wine in France • Aperitifs, pastis, beer culture & coffee etiquette This is not a sightseeing guide.
