France « à la carte ».
Even within France, you will hear people with different accents and each region is proud of its unique identity. Go to http://www.rfi.fr/lffr/listes/001/listee_a_la_carte.asp to discover six different French regions, with their culinary specialties. Just by browsing the brief texts which tell you about each region, and by looking at the pictures, list the features that make each place unique. Then place each region or city on the map of France in your textbook page 30-31.

A. Go to the site http://www.specialites-de-france.com/ to do a culinary « Tour de France » ! Pick four different regions from the list on the left hand side of the screen (« Alsace, Aquitaine, Auvergne, etc... »). First list the departments that made up the administrative region (some regions have only two departments, while others have eight), then click on each department to see which is their culinary specialty.(you can then also click on the name of the dish to see a picture and a description). Only a few departments do not have a specific dish attributed to them.
