Ask most people what they love about a holiday in France and their answer is likely to include wine and cheese.
The foodies among us at cottages4you believe the quality of these products is unrivalled by any other country – and we’ve certainly done our research.
If you want to expand your horizons on your next France holiday, but still sample these delicious delights, we’ve come across just the thing.
Vin jaune is a local yellow wine produced in the Franche-Comte region and it sounds like a real treat.
The high-quality tipple is over six years old and tastes similar to a Spanish sherry, explains Cecile Ambacher, press relations and promotion executive at Comite Regional du Tourisme de Franche-Comte.
And what goes perfectly with wine? Cheese of course! Luckily, this region is known for its Comte cheese and a visit to the mountains’ cheese cellars is a must, Ms Ambacher explains.
If you’re staying in a holiday cottage in Provence this summer, be sure to try the local rose wines, which are perfect with a crisp salad in the hot, southern sun.
