What does ” avoir le goût du terroir ” mean? How do you say ‘ to feel like home ’ in French? How is it pronounced? How is it used in a French sentence? Listen to Anne, a French native say it at FrenchHour.com.
avoir le goût du terroir – to have the taste of the local. In everyday French, avoir le goût du terroir can describe something literally and figuratively. It sets a positive slant describing all the features of a particular region, of its taste, its climate and its people. I often translate it as ‘to feel like home’.
« Ces galettes ont un bon goût de terroir. Miam miam! »
“These buckwheat crepes really feel like home. Yummy!”
