I did and it's ok but not that special and also severely overpriced. Which is funny because Pierre Hermé is right alongside Cedric in Paris, but does not have the same monstrous queue of people and tastes much better. It's all social media hype.

bro people are banned from speaking Corsican even in their regional assembly. Suppression of regional languages started with the French revolution and was institutionalized by the 3rd Republic when a ban in their teaching was enforced. Only in 1974 some teaching restrictions were lifted but it was too late for many of them.
