The "Cantal" by Julien

The “Cantal” departement is a wonderful region for the reasons following: the culture, the lifestyle, the way of thinking and naturally the food. I think that if we arise of this region, it is easier for understand the behavior of local people. It is a shape of sharing.

Then the way of thinking, it is a rural and rustic way of thinking, but it is not pejorative. It is a characteristic.

Then the “Cantal” has its own culture. The first thing is the dialect which is a local language. The second thing is its dance which is “la bourrée”.

Then the “Cantal” has its gastronomy, with different cheeses, with different specialities.

The different cheeses are “le cantal, le salers, le bleu d’auvergne, le pavé d’Aurillac, la fourme d’Ambert and le saint-nectaire”, which have different parfums and flavours.
The different specialities are “l’aligot, la truffade and le pounti“.

Then the “cantal” has its alcohols: “la salers, l’avèze”.

This region is such a region with magnificient landscapes and numerous wild spaces, as the mountains.
