Life, the universe, coffee and travel
I know Paris has always been expensive, but OMFG post Covid it’s gone next level insane. It’s even making London look like a bargain. Breakfast and Lunch today, close to $150 for the three of us, and we didn’t have a ton of food / eat at high end establishments, just run of the mill Paris cafes.
The food was awesome…. But hey, it’s France… that’s expected.
Most odd thing was my coffee cost more than a crepe.
If you are a foodie / love cooking, this is a MUST SEE shop in Paris. It’s culinary ground zero for cooking utensils. It’s been in operation for over 200 years.
Its got to be one of the worlds greatest ironies that the best English language bookshop in the world is in the absolute centre of the Francophile world. If they can’t work out why Napoleon is spinning in his casket over at Les Invalides, this is probably why. Every time I’m in Paris we walk away with a book or dozen from here. Make sure you visit this.
It's all about the coffee
