N°11 – The Duck

Ducks, with their iridescent feathers and awkward gait that oscillates between land and water, are charming guests of water bodies. Whether in the picturesque ponds of public parks or the winding streams of the countryside, their presence adds a touch of charm to everyday life. Ducks are versatile creatures that evoke both joyful and serene scenes.

In addition to their status as wild animals, ducks are sometimes raised on farms for their meat and eggs. Duck meat, appreciated for its rich and distinctive flavor, is an essential component of gastronomy. Foie gras, a controversial but iconic culinary delight, also comes from ducks. Thus, these waterfowl play a key role in culinary heritage while adding picturesque charm to the lakes and rivers.
