Camembert / Soft Ripened Cheese ![]()
In Provence as in the rest of France, Camembert is at the heart of French culture. From cafés to the restaurant carriage of the TGV bullet train, you can order sandwiches with Camembert and Cornichons. In 'Hexagone', a self-deprecating song about France, popular singer Renaud states that French people's only glory is their pinard (slang for wine) and their camembert! Camembert even has a name in slang, but it would not have rhymed in the song: calendos.
