With vast options available for kosher vacations on river cruises, you’re sure to have Paris and the famous Seine River of France on your list. Indeed, this river is something to behold in France. Let us learn some of its cultural importance. Food Of course, the foods near the Seine River reflects the taste of French cuisine. Meals like the traditional coq au vin, boeuf bourguignon, and escargot are all nourishing with delicious vegetables and some spices. And that's just Burgundy. From there, we pass by Paris, which is already famous for its prestigious cooking school Le Cordon Bleu. Meanwhile, Normandy is rich with dairy farms and apple orchards. They produce rich cheese and good cider, respectively. Normandy foods suggested are the seafood fruits de mer and sole meunière, and Vallée d’Auge veal. Literature Most authors and poets living in or passing by Paris have mentioned it in their works. Popular writers in France connected to this city are Hugo, Balzac, Sartre, and Zola. James Baldwin, Hans Christian Andersen, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Oscar Wilde, and Ernest Hemingway are notably just some of the writers who sought refuge in Paris for various reasons. Art Many artists were inspired by the river for their works. The impressionists perhaps even more so. In fact, a key event for such movement happened in a trading port called Honfleur located at the Seine river's mouth. Artists like van Gogh, Monet, and Seurat also took motivation from the river for their works. Hopefully this small list of facts would help you decide on whether or not the River Seine is interesting enough for you to explore. Certainly, while art, culture, etc. are also predominant in other places, the Seine River would still offer a unique experience, as most tourist spots do.
