Gastronomy in the Nord

Let's start with the starter: Lucullus de Valenciennes is a renowned culinary speciality. It's a mix between beef tongue and foie gras. A real treat! Let's continue with the dishes: carbonade flamande, a Belgian dish that has been adopted by the North, is made from beef cooked with onions, beer and vergeoise. Traditionally, carbonade flamande, which is best served the next day, is served with home-made chips and a good local beer. Moules-frites are a traditional dish at the Braderie de Lille, a must when strolling through. Let's finish with the cheese and dessert. Where there's cheese, there's Maroilles! You discovered it in the film Bienvenue chez les Ch'tis (Welcome to the Sticks), and you can eat it for breakfast or as part of your meal. Eat it hot or cold… And for dessert, let yourself be tempted by Bêtises de Cambrai, a famous sweet traditionally flavoured with mint. However, to the delight of gourmets, it is now available in all flavours. In short, the Nord is a great place to live, so don't hesitate to come and discover it. Book a gîte on the clevacances.com website, which guarantees comfort and safety thanks to its wide selection of accommodation in the Nord and the surrounding area.
