What is a kir in France?

Long the most popular aperitif in France, along with blanc-cassis, kir has an amazing Burgundian history that takes us back to Dijon just after the last war. A blend of cream alcohol and white wine, but one that allows for variations, kir is a brand that takes its name from a mayor of Dijon who was also religious.

Direction Burgundy and more precisely the department of Yonne to discover Auxerre. A little more than 35 000 inhabitants in this city which spreads out a lot of history and beauty on the banks of the Yonne and in the shade of one of the most beautiful cathedrals of France. Land of history, with 35 historical monuments. Land of culture with 3 museums of France, but also land of gastronomes...

beef and wine : taste beef "bourguignon"

It is the emblem of Burgundian cuisine since it brings together the two great productions of this beautiful land of France: wine and beef, more precisely the Charolais breed. It is a dish that brings people together since it requires several people to taste it, and that is particularly appreciated in winter. It has another advantage: you can make other small dishes with what is left in the casserole.
