Hi Dara Sorry for my belated comment We were out of town for Memorial Day weekend I have been watching a couple times..very fascinating point of view.. Indeed, everybody has different purpose to visit Paris. Unless it is the first time, PPL go after their desire, I reckon Haha Your passion for food is remarkable... hahah I did not know Paris is full of Magenta color even though I am crazy about the fashion trend. hahah this heel could be a weapon hhahah 4:29 I bet you thought of renting this showcase 4;44 hahah joking what? grilled cheese and ham sandwich? fancy and rich calories, I see 5:23 Oh yes, I love bread, especially, brioche bread. I am so sorry to hear Ian did not satisfy with it....not fresh??? 6:12 OMGoodness, Dara..chocolate!!! 6:26 huge croissant as well. I hope it is bitter sweet, right sweetness to it?? 6:43 oh nettla..nice I will be having pastries every day here...haha I am sorry about notre dame...after the tragedy... is it still working on restoration??? Hmmm.. Thank you for treating me dinner hahha Wow. My mouth is watery I am stuffed. haha pack them all and mail them to me...hahaha Love bread.... Crepe....i thought of thinner...looks delicious...I would ask for whip cream..haha I am glad you enjoy your vacation. How long did you stay? Pleasure watching your film...sorry I am having body ache from yesterday's hike.... BTW, it is happening again..my comments are disappearing....I will try my best, Dara..

Canadian: fork always in left tines down; knife always in right. Cut food always one piece at a time (even steak); for softer food push onto back of fork, tines down. When finished, for and knife centre of plate at 6 o’clock.

Thanks for your comment! Americans do usually eat their food by cutting only one piece at a time. We cut lots of pieces in this video just to show how people held their cutlery 😊

My goodness all the food looked so good! Well done on riding a bike in Paris, a few years back I went to Paris with some friends who were on their first trip there, one of them found a tour called 'The fat bike tour' (fat bikes are ones with really broad tyres). It was a late afternoon tour, it started OK until we realised we were going to be riding on the road in peak hour traffic!! Let's just say it was an experience, but riding around the Louvre square after dark with it all lit up did make up for it somewhat.

I watched this whilst waiting for a very mediocre chicken pie to heat through for my lunch....... I am now so regretting my life choices! The only thing missing from this wonderful tour of Parisian cuisine is a box of top quality Macarons from Laduree.

Sorry that your pie seemed disappointing after the Parisienne food! I should have had a macaron!

I so enjoyed this 'memory lane' video. Many many buildings, photos and places I've seen, beeb to or recall from my visit. Then the food. Oh yes, the food. Rich and often 'heavy' with cream and cheese. So decadent. That onion soup, you can wake me up for that. I so dislike that wooden cutlery. It almost spoils the food one eats from it. Loved the interior of the Pharamond Restaurant. The bill looked reasonable too. Now that raspberry tart looked delicious. Chapeau, one cant visit France without eating at least one crepe. What a foodie delight video. Yumyum. 👌🇳🇱🙋♀🥝

Omg Paris suits you guys perfectly all that magenta clothing, English royalty reminders and yummy food (pick pockets not so much lol) Look magenta flowers and a magenta hoody walk by 😂 Living your French transitions! Wow so many magenta shoes (hope a purchase was made or two at €900 a pair 😳) wow that brioche bread sandwich looked incredible! Oh no a none freshly made pastry Ian is not a happy bunny at this point do over time…. Yay it’s a lot better few 😅 omg those desserts look ornamental of course you went for the magenta one! The 1832 Pharamont place with amazing decor looked good so much so Ian couldn’t stop eating it and missed looking at the camera to tell you about it! Good choice on the protein shake for breakfast! French cheese baguette hunt is on…. Oooo good find on the seedy baguette even if you get rid of the veg/salad lol! Eat it for Christa woop woop with a great back drop! Awesome Crepes with a traditional Nutella filling! We are hungry now darn you! Have a great weekend guys 💕
