Bresse Gauloise
The Bresse Gauloise is a French breed of domestic chicken. It originates in the historic region and former province of Bresse, in the regions of Rhône-Alpes, Bourgogne and Franche-Comté, in eastern France. Because of legal restrictions on the use of the name, only white chickens raised within that area may be called "Bresse"; outside it, they are given the name "Gauloise"; the breed name combines both.〔〔 Four colours are recognised for the Bresse Gauloise, three of them linked to areas within Bresse:〔 the Bresse de Bourg is "grey" (silver-pencilled); the Bresse de Bény is white; the Bresse de Louhans is black; a blue variety has recently been created.〔 White Bresse de Bény chickens and capons raised in the area of Bresse have ''appellation d'origine contrôlée'' status and are marketed as poulet de Bresse; they are regarded as a premium product and command higher prices than other chickens.〔
==History==
The first documentation of the chickens of Bresse reportedly dates from 12 November 1591, when the citizens of Bourg presented two dozen birds to Joachim de Rye, Marquis de Treffort.〔 In the early nineteenth century, the lawyer, politician, epicure and gastronome Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755–1826), who was born at Belley in the Ain, is supposed to have described the Bresse chicken as "the queen of poultry, the poultry of kings".〔 Like the La Flèche, which was raised and fattened in a similar fashion, the Bresse chicken had high standing in the market. Nevertheless, by about 1900 the breed had virtually disappeared.〔 Its recovery was due to fancy breeders, who selectively bred a sufficient number of white chickens for the breed to become stable.〔 A new breed standard was drawn up in 1904. The Bresse name, used for both chicken products and for the dinde de Bresse, the turkey of the area, received legal protection on 22 December 1936;〔 this became an ''appellation d'origine contrôlée'' (AOC) in 1957.〔
