Vegan in FRANCE
Have you ever heard of the expression ‘French Vegan’? Well, it refers to an individual who is vegan, except consumes cheese. Now, clearly that breaks the definition of veganism, but when you visit France you will suddenly understand the reasoning behind this partial joke. It will seem immediately apparent to the vegan traveller that there is not a single dish available in a French restaurant which is not somehow covered in cheese or filled with cheese. Though there are an increased number of vegan options in the larger cities and towns, this is still the case in mountain towns, ski chalets, local wineries and restaurants; cheese is more of a staple than bread.
