The experts of an intergovernmental committee of UNESCO considered that the French gastronomic meal, with its rituals and its presentation, fulfilled the conditions for joining the list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity.
In fact, the meal is deeply part of the French people, it’s a precious sharing moment.
