Oui Oui Omni :: Omni Hotels Introduces Flavors of France

October 8, 2008 at 12:42 PM | 0 Comments

Escargot!

What do you think when you think France? We think food. Mainly cheese. And wine. And definitely escargots. Mmmmm. But who can fly to France on a whim to indulge in French cuisines?

Omni Hotels is doing its best to help your French food jonesing, with their "Savor the Flavors of France" program, running through December 31, 2008. Omni also did a similar series with Spain.

Get this. (You're going to hate these guys, we do.) Omni Hotels' culinary team traveled to France to experience the "local flavors" and cooking techniques in order to bring the authentic experience back to their guests. They visited Paris, Burgundy, Lyon and Avignon to immerse themselves in the traditions of French cooking, wine and culture.

And how can they not sample the vin? The group also visited more than 10 wineries, discovered the secrets of cheese-making and  trained at the renowned Valrhona École du Chocolat in Tain l'Hermitage. In case you don't speak French, that last bit said chocolate.

Are we right? You hate them now, don't you?

Well, don't be too hard on them. They worked hard so you can have your French favorites here in the U.S.A. Check out their Savor the Flavors of France specials like the New Year's Eve French Kiss Package and the French Toast Package and make plans for your own gustatory rendezvous.

Mmm, we're hungry now.
