French Romance

 "The national characteristics… the restless metaphysical curiosity, the tenderness of good living and the passionate individualism. This is the invisible constant in a place with which the ordinary tourist can get in touch just by sitting quite quietly over a glass of wine in a Paris bistro.” -Lawrence Durrell

Paris a city famous for love and romance. It is famous for its history and people love to spend their lives here with their partners. Food here in Paris is also quite famous all over the world.


The star of French pastries - the Croissant



The croissant is famous for being one of the essential components of breakfast à la française. Golden brown, and with a delicious buttery-tasting dough that melts in your mouth, it is a perfect accompaniment for a good cup of coffee. It is the main staple at every French bakeries Although it’s not a dish, there’s nothing more French than eating a hot, freshly-baked croissant right in the heart of Paris.


Its origins date back to 17th-Century Vienna, Austria. Viennese bakers saved the city by sounding the alert when the Ottoman Army invaded. As an homage, they produced a croissant, whose crescent shape was directly inspired by the emblem on the flag of their former enemies.
