Exploring From Home: France is a great-themed week full of children’s activities and delicious food. Learning about France, the French Culture and the history of France can be a lot of fun. Check out these French Recipes, activities, movies, and more.
Food
French cuisine is delicious but it’s not as difficult as it seems. While they aren’t too difficult it may be easiest to pick a few recipes for the whole week and not daily. We enjoyed Steak Frites with Haricots Vert and escargot one evening simply because Steak and French fries is an easy meal so we could focus on the escargot too. Crepes can be made for breakfast lunch dessert or even dinner. Quiche Lorraine and croque monsieur are great lunch options.
