Fondue

Fondue is Switzerland’s national dish, its name comes from the French word fondre, meaning to melt, and that is exactly what it is! Melted cheese combined with flavorful additions. Fondue was invented out of necessity, when the locals and herders relied only on cheese, wine, and bread to get them through the cold alpine winter. When the cheese made in the summer started to dry out and the bread became hard and stale during the winter months the ingenious locals melted the hard cheese with wine and dipped the stale bread into it.

With its capital Paris, nicknamed the city of love, romantic France itself is no stranger to a little ‘amour’. From the romantic allure of its idyllic villages, to its charming coastlines and candlelit bistros, this elegant destination seduces at every turn.
