French Pastries
French Bread
France is of course famous for its food. There are “pâtisseries” and “boulangeries” everywhere, the first ones specializing in cakes and elaborate pastries, the second ones offering many kinds of bread and basic bakery products.
French eat pastries without much guilt: it’s just a part of every day’s life. Bread is essential as well: one baguette (bread stick) per meal for a family, sometimes two. And try walking back from the bakery without tasting a just-bought baguette… impossible! As for fresh fruits, they are always available at local markets, which are an important part of traditional French culture.

@Seraphine – You would love France then!
@Max Coutinho – Tous les gâteaux sont bons pour moi!
Boulangeries are soemthing I miss in Canada. Thanks to Lebanese immigrants shops though, I can still find some good cheese.
Hi again,
Mmmmm, j’adore des croissants et pains au chocolat!!!
When I lived there I used to eat a lot of pain au chocolat, and the baguette (bien sûre)!! Ok, I ate everything I was entitled to (I used to love my trips to the boulangerie lol)…there, I confessed it! LOL
You know what else I love? French Cheese (I love cheese from almost everywhere, but the French cheese is one of my favourites – you must try our cheese though, excellent!).
