More than 3,000 restaurants and French embassies across 5 continents will take part in the 4th Good France culinary celebration on 21 March 2018. The event highlights Nouvelle-Aquitaine specialties, from foie gras, duck confit, Espelette chili pepper, cannele cake, colorful fish and shellfish to poulet basquaise. The area is also renowned for its prestigious wine, including Saint-Emilion, Chateau Margaux, Merlot and Sauvignon Blanc. During the press conference, France Ambassador to Indonesia and Timor Leste, Jean-Charles Berthonnet, mentioned that the Nouvelle-Aquitaine was selected to highlight the diversity of French culinary heritage, as it is the first agricultural region in the country with up to 210 quality-certifications for its local products.

With the support of Air France, who will also serve French fine dining on board during the event, anyone who takes a photo while enjoying their Good France 2018 meal and post it on instagram gets a chance to win 2 tickets to Paris.
