Salut ! Ça va, toi ?
So, did you put last week’s newsletter to good use? Ah, félicitations ! Now it’s time to put your French skills to the test, by doing the one thing Parisians know best: la restauration. That’s right, in this week’s newsletter, we’re discussing all things food.
There are many things to take into consideration when eating out as a Parisian: your outfit for the occasion, making a possible reservation, and navigation (a hot topic, you’ll find, with the newest wave of pension protests).
In France, eating isn’t just an activity, it’s an experience. In this country, we don’t eat food, we enjoy eating.
Allons-y !
