France is beautiful, true, but might prove to be challenging for your vegan travels. Aside from the shortage of vegan restaurants, a good chunk of French food has little to no vegan options. Even when meat is not present on foods, a large amount of cheese is replaced with it, and breads and pastries contain eggs, honey, dairy, and butter.
But despite this, we can not deny the fact that French cuisine is one of the richest types of cuisine in the world. Don’t forget that the world-famous ratatouille is wholly vegan. With that said, what do we do if only a small chunk of French cuisine is vegan? Well, we veganize the other recipes! Here are some french vegan recipes you need to try at home!
