Here are a few things you should know if you are allergic to gluten
In France, restaurants are less aware of celiac disease. So it’s always best to ask mainstream restaurants if they can guarantee a “gluten-free” menu, and explain that “kitchen utensils must not have touched gluten; for example, the knife used to prepare your food must not cut wheat flour bread”.
Savoyard specialties are usually gluten-free: raclette, tartiflette and polenta.
Please note that wholemeal bread is not dark bread, and often contains gluten. If you buy it in a bakery, be sure to specify “gluten-free”.
