This inventory is part of the project to gain international recognition of French gastronomy from UNESCO, but is also designed, as Marie-Madeleine Mialot, Vice-President of the Centre region, puts it, “to boost our tourism economy”.
The Centre region aims to take stock
of its agro-food, craft and cultural riches, with the help of
specialist researchers from the
European Institute of Food History
and Cultures (IEHCA) at the
François
Rabelais
University
in
Tours
.
The IEHCA is behind the idea to
inscribe French gastronomy on the representative list of
intangible
cultural heritage, created by a 2003 convention, which should
not be confused with the
World Heritage
Convention of 1972. It is an idea which has also been adopted at
national level, with the creation of a project support mission
led by geographer Jean-Robert Pitte, a specialist in gastronomy
and former President of the Sorbonne.
