Remus Friday - Food in France



From the pen of Remus Brasier on Friday the 18th of December 2015 at 8:45 pm

Today started out as a average day.  Well,I mean, I'm in Paris, yes, but we(referring to mum,dad,Rafferty and       Flis plus me) were just sitting there in our hotel room,basically doing nothing,waiting for 3:00 to come around.

'Why were we waiting for that certain time in the day?' I hear you ask.Thats a good question,but there's an equally good answer for that. Let me explain.At three,there was to be a person who would meet us at a part of Paris called St Germain des Pres who would show us around one of the best places in Paris to shop for food including shops dedicated to just just one thing.



At 2:45,we took the metro to go to the Saint Germain des Pres station where would meet the lady who was to take us on our tour.When we met her,we started almost immediately.

Firstly,she showed us a old style of a French shop.  Inside we had a taste test of a delicious Fois Gras. IT WAS BRILLIANT!





We walked a bit more and did the same with a shop dedicated to honey.  Actually, that's the funny thing about Parisian shops;Some have a great variety of products and some sell variants of just one thing.

See,at the honey shop there was chestnut honey, chocolate honey and much, much more.  And similarly,there was a jam shop where the best selling product was champagne and raspberry jam.  Of course,my drunkard parents just HAD to have that one.They said it was very nice.



The other food shops we went to included the oldest chocolate shop
In Paris, a boulangerie which is a bakery, a seafood shop, a cheese shop, a fruit and veggie shop and a crazy ice cream shop. 




Later when we had finished we went to an old fashioned diner where guess what I had for entree..Yes, earlier today I had some actually very nice indeed snails.
