Oh the many gastronomical treasures that can be found in the city of love. From specially fattened duck liver (foie gras) to perfectly flaky croissants, there is something for all foodies here.<\/p>\n
The restaurant options can be somewhat overwhelming, though. I mean it’s Paris we are talking about. It’s hard not to have high expectations. So, it doesn’t hurt to be prepared ahead of time with a foodie agenda – yes, a foodie agenda. There’s no shame in the game. I was fortunate to visit last spring for the first time and had a list of “must eats” ready pre-departure thanks to Lonely Planet<\/a>.<\/p>\n Whatever you do, don’t rush anything. The true Parisian experience is to live like a local. Walk around town with a fresh baguette in hand. Sit at a cafe, watch the people stroll by & lose track of the time. Drink wine & lots of it.<\/p>\n Alexa, play\u00a0la vie en rose <\/em>by Edith Piaf.*<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Start your day at Ble Sucre<\/em>\u00a0with a croissant & a pain au\u00a0chocolat, because why have to choose?<\/strong><\/p>\n Take a morning stroll through the Bastille Market – an outdoor foodie paradise that will put your local farmer’s market to shame.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Be bold & try your next pastry with escargot at Du Pain et des Idees.<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Grab a table at one of the oldest cafes in Paris, Cafe de Flore<\/em><\/a>, & sip a cafe au lait. \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Still having a sweet craving?
