So, which regiments to choose for the army of the Sun King. At the moment I am assuming the army marches on it's stomach, so the following regiments seem appropriate:
Beaujolais
Bourbon
Bourgogne
Brie
Champagne
Any other ideas?

The wine and cheese brigade!
Commanded by Vin e Fromage.
Vin Ordinaire
D'escargot
Mustard
baguette de la guarde
Les pommes de terre - Irish regiment
Emmental - Swiss
Les Bonbons
Creme de Menthe
Broulee
Calvados
Assuming you are looking for real regiments
Charolais
Berry
Medoc
Mollinary
Dragons du Don Jean.
Grenadiers de Boule Suif
12th Pied et Bouche
Petomane Tache Brune Pantalon
Chat Sauvage (elite grenadiers, these).
Excellent ideas all. I am going to paint my regiments historically, but many of the ideas presented are appropriate for our imagination campaign, where I am playing his glorious highness, Kurfurst Maximilian Hector Speck-sur-le-Moutard, duc d'Pon-et-Dupondt, protector of Nouvelle Cusin-en-Indes.
Cheers,

Bon chance avec la!
Don't for get Les Armagnacs
If you want a regiment with guts - how about Andouille?
No, not the insipid American version, the real thing:
