  • At the begining, I always felt agressed by French people even though I'm a french native speaker.
    After being here for more than a year now, I've come to the conclusion that it's just their way of talking...I just had to get used to it.
    I won't even mention the awful customer service you will get in most places... you just have to accept it.

  • Lea getting a crepe au nutella
  • by vivacolombia

  • I'm always disapointed to see foreigners order burgers, a pizza or something they're familiar with. I'm not asking you to order frog or sneils but once, I saw a couple of Americans order a crepe full of wheap cream...

    So, in your crepe I would recommend some lemon juice+sugar, marmalade, home made applesauce+cinamon or nutella and banana (my favorite).

    The price in Paris is around 3 and 4.50 euros for a crepe. Try not to sit in a cafe (they charge a lot more for a smokey place). Instead, take it to go and sit in a park (St Germain des pres behind the church, or on the Seine's docks)
    Bon Appetit!
