History & Culture

The History & Culture category is for anyone who wants to understand France beyond clichés—its traditions, craftsmanship, and the historical stories behind the products and practices we import to Taiwan.

Each article in this section aims to clearly explain French cultural concepts to Taiwanese readers. Whether it’s a traditional festival like Candlemas or Bastille Day, a regional food specialty, a typical handcrafted object, or an old profession, we provide historical and cultural context that makes these items meaningful.

This category bridges French heritage and Taiwanese curiosity. For example, a simple bar of soap reveals the history of Provence, and a bottle of organic wine reflects changes in French agriculture and its relationship with nature. We also highlight cultural exchanges between France and Taiwan, through shared values, artisan networks, or mutual inspiration.

Our goal is to make this category a true educational and cultural communication tool. By sharing the stories behind the products, we hope to create a deeper appreciation of French culture and foster respectful and curious dialogue between our two cultures.

Welcome to a space of discovery, dialogue, and cultural connection.
