Among these are <em>Normandie<\/em>, \u00cele-de-France, <em>Bourgogne<\/em> and <em>Bretagne<\/em>. Each region has its own landscape and climate, and, thanks to this diversity, each region boasts of its unique product. The most famous export from the sea-side region of <em>Bretagne<\/em> is the cr\u00eape.<\/p>\n<p><em>Bretagne<\/em> (or Brittany for the English speaking world) is located on the western side of France. It lies next to the sea and sits only 2 hours away, by ferry, from the coast of England.<\/p>\n<p>Its landscape is coastal and rocky, giving birth to large, open swaths of land that closely resemble the landscape if its older sibling, Great Britain. Its green hills are dotted with grazing sheep and running water.<\/p>\n<p>Brittany is rich with physical beauty but, unfortunately for the early inhabitants, it is plagued by a harsh environment that traditionally made it difficult to maintain crops. It is for this reason that the arrival of buckwheat in the 12th century by the crusaders made such an impact upon the people of brittany.<\/p>\n<p>Buckwheat quickly began to flourish on the French peninsula. Shortly after its arrival, the local inhabitants began to grind the seed into a flour that was then mixed with eggs and butter and used to create the famous &#8220;<em>cr\u00eape.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<h4>Exporting the cr\u00eape from Brittany<\/h4>\n<div id=\"attachment_16071\" style=\"width: 1010px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-16071\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16071\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lacloseriedeslilas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"626\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lacloseriedeslilas.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lacloseriedeslilas-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lacloseriedeslilas-768x481.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/lacloseriedeslilas-816x511.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-16071\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">People sit outside a caf\u00e9 at Montparnasse<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Cr\u00eaperies span every area, arrondissement and neighborhood in Â鶹APP, but there is no corner of the city more populated by these quaint cr\u00eaperies than the eastern quarter of Montparnasse.<\/p>\n<p>This is because Gare Montparnasse is the train station that directly connects Brittany to the city of Â鶹APP. Upon first opening in 1840, people of Brittany flocked to Â鶹APP, setting up shops and restaurants in the Montparnasse quarter, specializing in the exports of Brittany. If you are looking for a good cr\u00eape, there is no better place to explore than the restaurants near Montparnasse.<\/p>\n<p>After the voyage to Â鶹APP, the cr\u00eape was exported to every region in France.

The cr\u00eape has its own special place in the heart of French culture.<\/p>\n<p>In France, the cr\u00eape is celebrated on the day of February 2nd. It is known as <em>le jour des cr\u00eapes , <\/em>literally translated to mean <em>the day of crepe<\/em>.

This, strange as it may seem, was not available in the 12th century.<\/p>\n<p>The cr\u00eape is usually seen as a quick, cheap, on-the-go street food, but this is not always the case. The French also eat cr\u00eapes in a more formal way, such as at home or in restaurants. Typically a cr\u00eape or galette is eaten with a glass of apple cider that is also made in the region of Brittany.<\/p>\n<p>No matter how it is eaten or what is inside, the cr\u00eape is a staple of French tradition.

This prevents the inside filling from leaking out. The word &#8220;cr\u00eape&#8221; comes from the Latin and Greek word for &#8220;folding&#8221; or &#8220;wrapping.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The famous Cr\u00eape Suzette was invented by the king&#8217;s chef in the early 1900&#8217;s. He made is as a dessert for the prince and was seen as the most luxurious of desserts. It is made with sugar, butter, orange, tangerine and a strong liquor.<\/p>\n<p>Different variations of the cr\u00eape exist in other countries in Europe. Recently Japan has also began to make their own form of cr\u00eape based off of the the French classic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-16075\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"6000\" height=\"4000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593.jpg 924w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/crepes_34172535593-816x544.jpg 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 6000px) 100vw, 6000px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Some desert cr\u00eapes are made with a strong liquor that is set aflame upon arrival to the table.\u00a0 The Cr\u00eape Suzette is rumored to be the first cr\u00eape\u00a0 prepared with the concept of <em>cr\u00eape flamb\u00e9.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Traditionally the first cr\u00eape made is offered to the cat.
