VIVE LE SUMMER

Walks along the Seine, the best shopping in the world, a picnique of baguette, cheese, and rosé from the market. What’s not to love about France in the summertime?

While visiting Paris or the French countryside has a lot to offer, bring a little bit of France into your summer with Women & Wine’s Celebrate Summer the French Way, which brings together two countries, two holidays and two weeks of French culinary delights.

Starting on July 4th and continuing through Bastille Day to July 18th, restaurants run by Maîtres Cuisiniers de France (click here for a list of restaurants) will kick off a two-week celebration of French cooking to toast the American and French holidays of independence. Participating restaurants will offer a special $30 menu for the occasion, not to mention that you’ll be able to discover great selections from Rhone Valley wines that are perfect to pair with French food!

Just one more reason to indulge in some bread and cheese, which miraculously, when done the French way, makes you thin!

Still not enough? Check out Women & Wine for a daily trivia contest about French food, wine and travel as well as a photo contest on How do You Celebrate Summer the French Way.
