🍽️ Gastronomic Wall Map of France – André Bourguignon (1952 Edition)

Culinary Heritage | Illustrated Vintage Map | A Feast for the Eyes

Step into the world of French gastronomy with this delightful illustrated map by André Bourguignon, a celebrated Parisian chef and former Director of the renowned L’Écu de France. Originally published in 1929 and reissued several times until 1962, this 1952 edition is a culinary and cartographic treasure that showcases the classic dishes of each French region—from seafood and game to regional cheeses, pâtés, and exquisite desserts.

Rendered with charm and wit, the map is as much an homage to France’s gastronomic traditions as it is a celebration of its geography. It’s equal parts artwork, cultural guide, and culinary tour.

🐟 Fresh fish from Brittany’s coasts
