MY FOODIE ADVENTURES IN PARIS – where and what to eat

foodie adventures - what and where to eat in Paris

Paris is a monochromatic city.

A pale low sun, illuminates the nineteenth century buildings and their classic zinc rooftops.

Gray on gray.

If you’ve never been there, Paris is difficult to describe; Reading these first lines, you could imagine a sad and boring city. In truth, the city is an ideal backdrop to bring out wonderful surprises to discover behind every corner. Colors and fragrances hidden everywhere, just looking for them. The bright coats of two girls waiting for the bus to stop. Cascades of flowers that bloom from small, old, shops. Walls of golden brown Baguettes indicating where to buy bread. The warm yellow light of the  umbrella heaters outside cafes Parisians. Bright colored Tablecloths and the little square of painters in Montmartre.

Although, at first sight, it is looked like a sad city, Paris reveals itself as an elegant, old lady, walking with young grandchildren, cheeky and mischievous, hiding theirselves behind doorways, peeking out from corners and joking with strangers.

This is Paris: austerity, elegance, impertinence, joke. Feelings that move in his cuisine. Here the cooks have become “Chef”, the cookery has become art.
