In less than one month, I will board a plane at SFO and arrive 15 hours later in CDG. Paris, here I come! My coworkers (and even my husband) seem to think I will spend most of my waking hours at the Place Vendôme or the Galeries Lafayette, contributing to Bernard Arnault’s empire. They are wrong, I say! Besides the museums, it’s Marie-Anne Cantin, Alléosse, Pierre Hermé and Poilane – the fromageries and bakeries that I’m looking forward to. Okay, that and maybe Colette.
In the meantime, I will attempt to brush up on my rudimentery French, figure out places I will visit and where to eat, and finally, study the customs loopholes. Any suggestions will be welcomed.
