French Food

France wouldn't be France without yummy French food! The friends who we visited with were vegan, so we made reservations at a vegetarian restaurant near Notre Dame Cathedral. However, when we left Musee d'Orsay to walk there the weather had other ideas. A huge, beautiful thunderstorm rolled in, with high winds and torrential rain, so we opted for the shorter walk to our hotel, asked for ideas, and then went to a creperie right down the street. We made it inside just before the real rain hit, so we were glad we chose the short walk. And it was really good! We all had buckwheat galettes, and we all liked them, so I'll call that a success.

Rebecca looks grumpy here, but I think she's just concentrating. Also, it was really hot that day, so we were all kind of sticky and sweaty...

The next morning we had a classic French breakfast in our hotel room, with hot chocolate, orange juice, and a variety of fruit, pastries, and cheeses. The kids loved it (as did I)!

While we did eat other meals, none of them were particularly noteworthy, as I packed our lunch from home on the first day, and on the second day we ate at Gare du Nord while waiting for our train back to England. But at least we managed two proper meals in one of the food capitals of Europe!
