A trip to Paris: for food
Why do you travel – is it for the sights, to discover culture, or to study? As a food connoisseur, I go to different places just to eat. That’s right – I enjoy food and travel just so that I can experience different types of cuisine. I go to Japan for sushi or India for curry. I once desired for French cuisine and what better place it is to take delight than in Paris, while enjoying the different spectacles the city has to offer bringing about a unique overall experience in food delicacy.
French cuisine has always been one of my most curious tastes as they vary with different tastes, texture and carefully crafted goodness evolved from several generations of royalty chefs and bakers. It has been one of the types of cooking that required high levels of skill to master which is what piqued my curiosity so I had to go and visit several famous restaurants on my short trip to Paris.
The types of food I mostly had ranged from the typical French cuisine like croissant, French bread or pain au chocolat with tea for breakfast, pizza and pasta for lunch and a cheese course for dinner to more complex types like zucchini, cakes and pastries. I also dropped by bars just to try out their wines, champagnes and cognacs and everything was exquisite.
Traveling there for food also requires timing, as French delicacies vary by season. If you’re looking for vegetable salads or fruit dishes, the harvests are abundant during summer when they are also good way to refresh yourself from the heat. September marks the beginning of the hunting season so get your pots ready for different types of dishes and seafood is most inexpensive during spring. I had to try their fresh garden salads so I ended up spending my summer vacation in Paris.
All throughout my short stay, I had to move from one Paris apartment to another since I had to try to move close to certain restaurants to try as many things as possible. Paris accommodation was easy to find as I had a good access to Paris holiday apartments. Food in Paris, taken at a restaurant by the Eiffel Tower gives an experience unlike any other asthe sights and the delicious food complement each other. I’m sure I’ll be going back again as soon as I can get another vacation andhopefully, with someone for a romantic dinner at the city of love.
