Bonjour from Bordeaux!

I’ve been kept busy these past few weeks visiting cities and towns across France, and discovering what industries and traditions are unique to each region. Lyon is the culinary capital, using every part of the animal to often confronting effect. Limoges is known for fine porcelain. Bordeaux, obviously, is red wine country.

This week, I’d like stories about unique and esoteric specialities, and / or the communities that thrive alongside them. These can be real or fictitious; stories about the politics of local beekeeping, or the cottage industries that serve wizarding universities.

Usual rules apply: no fanfic, google docs, political screeds, or erotica.
