Contest launched to find best saucisson
A sausage lovers’ club from Ardèche is launching a contest to find the world’s best salami in June 2018 - as well as the wine and bread that go best with it.

Producers will compete for the Rabelais Medal, named after the 15th century writer who coined the word saucisson.
