France is broken up into provinces (or "states," unofficially) according to certain tribes which lived there before France was formed, more or less. These provinces are still very different and distinct from one another (even though they all make up France), provinces vary in many aspects, one of them food, hence "provincial food."
Classical French cuisine is cooking techniques that originated or that are based in France. It is a very rich and distinctive style of cooking.
Quiche is originally from Germany, and now it is a classical dish of French cuisine....!
It's difficult to say exactly what classical cuisine is. In Europe each country will have a range of dishes many of which may have had their origins in the kitchens of the aristocracy. So Italy has a classical cuisine as does Spain and Portugal and so on. In France the classical cuisine was catalogued and systematised by the great 19th century chef Escoffier in his book "la Repertoire de la Cuisine" and it was the dishes in this that became the standard repertoire of the restaurants of the luxury hotels of the period. Today many of these dishes are over-elaborate for the modern taste and they have been displaced to a degree by a French "Classical" cuisine which derives from simpler bourgeois cooking which reflects the sort of food you might have been served in a French bourgeois home that had a permanent cook or the food you might have been served in the home of a prosperous country landowner.
Classical cuisine originated in France. It was practiced in the grand restaurants and hotels of Europe and elsewhere for much of the 20th century.

Traditional French cuisine is reputed to be a fat cuisine. This is of questionable truth, certainly not generally true for modern French cuisine, and certainly never was a unique aspect of French cuisine. Other aspects of French cuisine include its diversity, inventiveness, or the nation's passion with its cuisine, none of which is unique to French cuisine. Both, those attributes might be cited as characteristics of French cuisine. Any region's cuisine evolves with disregard of political boundaries. Adjacent countries will almost always share many of the characteristics with a specific country's traditional cuisine, rendering any claim of "traditional cuisine of country X" questionable. For example, the cuisine in the south-west of France is very similar to northern Spanish cuisine, while eastern French cuisine shares similarities with German, Swiss and Italian cooking.
