Technique 94 in this atlas is not a compliment to every bistro. It marks mother sauces, pastry lamination, wine pairing and a restaurant culture that trained half the world's fine dining. Restaurant French cuisine is one register. Home pots and market stalls are others. Authenticity is a marketing word; technique is not.
Status still splits between the industrial version of Mirepoix and the household or workshop version no chain quite copies. French cuisine did not arrive as a single national plate. Its older structure is visible in Croissant, Mirepoix and the regional kitchens that still disagree.
Pick the room and the heat. The instruction changes. The plate, the pantry and the atlas spice number stay the ones for this cuisine.
Teaching marks from the atlas, not a reservation or a food-safety certificate.

Court, village and street cooked on different clocks. The ten-point timeline below keeps those clocks in view rather than flattening them into a brand story. French cuisine grew from regional peasant pots and a court that professionalised sauce and service. Cuisine française is both grandmotherly daube and the brigade system the world still copies.
French cuisine changes by valley, coast and capital. Lyon bouchons is one node, not the whole map. Regional pride in this cuisine is argued through Croissant and Baguette more than through a single official recipe.
