The Permanent Delegation of Haiti to UNESCO offered, on Wednesday, May 13, 2025, a splendid showcase of the country’s cultural richness on the occasion of the International Day of La Francophonie, organized by the Group of Francophone Ambassadors to UNESCO (GAFU). The traditions, lifestyle, and local gastronomy were highlighted at the UNESCO headquarters in Paris.

With the valuable contribution of Maison Barbancourt, a symbol of Haitian excellence in the spirits industry, the celebration was enhanced with delicious tastings. Typical Haitian dishes, expressing the abundance of Haiti's culinary heritage, were carefully prepared for the occasion (griot, accras, marinades…) and were elevated by the accompaniment of our prestigious Barbancourt rum, a perfect fusion of tradition and innovation.
