Camping is a great way of vacationing that has arisen out of our latent desire to remain in proximity of Mother
Nature. Occasionally we feel the need to break free from the shackles of material world and cuddle in nature's
lap for a while.

Eating Well on Your Camping Holiday in Burgundy
By Stephen Lane
Many people I meet are convinced that camping holidays are still hosted in rainy fields, where food
is hard to cook as portable stoves fail to light in the damp weather. It’s a horrible image, but thankfully
something that is now a thing of the past as many of Europe’s quality campsites boasts all kind of hotel
style features from restaurants to bakeries to quality supermarkets on site. Nonetheless, if you’re still
left worried about the quality of the food on your trip, then why not consider one of Burgundy’s
campsites? This area of France is renowned for its high living and gourmet eating, so you are sure to
be in for a culinary treat. Here are some of the appetising treats you can expect while camping in
Burgundy.
The Meat
The main meat in the region is the Carollais beef cattle, and as such meat eaters are guaranteed large
rich portions. Often this can be mixed with fine wines, like in the eponymous boeuf bourguignon, a
traditional recipe of the region combining these two fine elements with baby onions, bacon and carrots.
Coq au Vin follows a similar formula, only with chicken instead of beef. This style is repeated with
many other dishes, and if your French isn’t that good, look out for the phrase “a la Bourguignonne”.
There are bound to be some restaurants near your campsite in Burgundy serving this kind of food,
given it’s such a popular local fare.
There are plenty of other meats
