7 microbreweries to discover without moderation!
It's no secret that the French love beer. After almost disappearing in the 80s, the number of breweries, and microbreweries in particular, has grown exponentially. Today, there are no fewer than 2,000 micro-brasseries in France. According to Brasseur de France, France even ranks 1st in Europe in terms of the number of breweries.

After criss-crossing the roads of France, we have selected our seven favorite microbreweries.
