International Saucisson's Day

International Saucisson's Day, celebrated every March 28, honours the beloved French dry-cured sausage that holds the same cultural status in France as the baguette does for bread — with nine out of ten French people consuming saucisson at least once a year. Championed by the National Confederation of Butchers and Charcuterie Professionals, the day shines a spotlight on the craftsmanship of artisan charcutiers and the rich regional traditions behind every slice.
