The Nantes municipality has decided to eliminate foie gras from its receptions and events, aligning with animal welfare concerns. The decision has drawn mixed reactions among residents, with animal rights advocates applauding the choice, while local producers and some citizens express disappointment over the departure from tradition. The opposition has criticized the city for this move, citing inconsistency as the city plans to distribute foie gras as Christmas gifts to isolated seniors. As foie gras production faces challenges, the overall popularity of the delicacy remains strong in France.
