Paris

Bonjour les amants de nourriture! This week we visit France. And although the country is sometimes known for the famous city of lights, France has a plethora of culture and mystery that can be found in many other areas as well.

For those of you who've never traveled to France, the country is located in Western Europe and extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the North Sea, and from the Rhine River to the Atlantic Ocean. (Click to learn more information about France's geography)

So back to the food...


French cuisine is characterized by its extreme diversity. French cuisine is considered to be one of the world's most refined and elegant styles of cooking, and is renowned for both its classical ("haute cuisine") and provincial style...

We'll be visiting Paris since I visited the beautiful city. There are so many places in Paris to eat. Whether it's a small side street shop or a fancy, high-class, by invitation only restaurant, you can find something that you will like.

There will be more details about France and Paris to come, but for now I'll let your mouth water over these tasty treats.
