How Eva Longoria Films a Travel Show About France
If you love travel, French cuisine, and stories where a dish tells about an entire region, the new season of Eva Longoria's show is sure to interest you. This time, the actress, along with CNN, heads to France, and the filming team shows not only beautiful places but also how a television journey is actually born.
Burgundy — Not Just a Backdrop
Filming takes place in Burgundy, one of the most famous wine regions in France. The city of Beaune, a medieval town considered the wine capital of Burgundy, serves as the base for several days of the team's work.
One of the main locations is the Michelin-starred restaurant Clos du Cèdre. It is there that Longoria films a scene dedicated to Bresse chicken — a special breed with marbled meat, white feathers, a red comb, and bluish legs. For the actress, this is not a random culinary episode: she passionately explains why the product is so significant for French cuisine.
The restaurant prepares classic French dishes using local ingredients. Among them is Bresse chicken with truffles. Thus, the viewer sees not an abstract "luxurious France," but specific producers, products, and traditions that shape the taste of the region.
What Happens Behind the Scenes
The show is built around culinary origin stories: how a particular product came to be, why it became important, and how food can help understand culture. For Longoria, this is already the third season of the project, and France became a logical direction after her personal fascination with the country.
During filming, the team does not limit itself to the restaurant's kitchen. On the last day of work, the journalist meets Longoria and the filming crew at Château d’Entre-Deux-Monts — a 17th-century family estate near Dijon, where truffles are grown.
It is such moments that make the show interesting: not only the famous host appears on camera, but also chefs, farmers, estate owners, and people for whom local food is part of daily life. If you want to travel through tastes, stories, and conversations, rather than just looking at tourist postcards, this season is worth your attention.
