Gastronomy in Auvergne region, France

The gastronomy of Auvergne

French real green lung, the Auvergne region is not only the homeland of Vercingetorix, it is also a land of volcanoes discover via numerous hiking trails. Its charm and character make an authentic region with its traditional costumes, its rich culture, folklore, and of course its cuisine.

Between Bourbonnais chicken, green Puy lentils, wild fruits and Auvergne cheeses, including the famous Murat cones, blue d'Auvergne, the Cantal and Saint-Nectaire, there is something in Auvergne to  satisfy the greediest. The gastronomy of Auvergne is indeed the least plentiful. While plains offer beautiful fruits and vegetables, the mountains of Auvergne also hide some wonderful surprises, like mountain flowers, wild fruits and salted meats. At the table, you may have the opportunity to taste the cabbage soup, coq au vin, stuffed cabbage, truffles or even a bacon with green lentils.
