This week's Wanderlust Friday is decidedly food-oriented - another winning post from David Lebovitz - a list of 10 insanely delicious things to eat in Paris. I've traveled to France exactly once, in the early spring of 1996. I was spending my junior year studying abroad at the University of Sussex, and although England is a fabulous place to explore, Paris was an irresistible temptation - especially when plane ticket prices dropped to 60 pounds, round trip. So I (along with several of my fellow American expats) set off for a long March weekend in Paris. We stayed at a rather nice youth hostel on the edge of the city, complete with a basement bar that served tequila beer. It's tequila, plus beer! Instead of bar tables, we sat on porch swings suspended on chains from the ceiling. How chic! The best parts of my trip to Paris were the sights - le Louvre, le Musee d'Orsay, le Sacre Coeur, Notre Dame... it's so easy to overdose on Paris. The worst part of my trip was definitely the food. Paralyzed by high prices, we stooped to dining at McDonalds on the Champs-Elysees. We did have one lunch in a decent ramen house near the Louvre, but that didn't make up for the crushing disappointment I suffered upon learning that Berthillon was closed for the season. Reading David's list makes me want to try again at Paris, if only to experience those macarons.
