And some very good cheese like the Beaufort or Comté (smellier than the cheddar but not that much) and many more varieties than you can eat as a starter, before dessert or as a main course like the cheese fondue or raclette. And wine, etc. the list goes on. Sadly, nowadays, many of the restaurants in the 10 to 30 Euros a meal price range just serve dishes coming from big industrial food suppliers like Metro. There are fewer home-made dishes being served in restaurants in France, especially in touristic areas. Also many of the "boulangeries" just bake industrial bread and sell patisseries, viennoiseries coming from industrial suppliers.
