A lot is said about Paris and also Parisians and having spent a lot of time here in Paris a few thoughts.
Frogs legs are a speciality and not a common place food. Similar to dog restaurants in South Korea (where they do exist but are a speciality and only really common with the oder generation) frog legs are a food many French people themselves have not tried. I experienced the same thing when living in Helsinki, Finland. I was told that all Finnish people have done the sauna to hole in the frozen ice dunking so I did it. Afterwards I found out that many Finnish people have not even tried it.
Parisians I also have found to be very friendly. It is like anywhere in that if you can at least try and speak even 1 or 2
words in French then people will try and help you. French people can be stubborn but then so can Catalans, Brits, Italians and every other nationality.
Culturally Paris, France is a fantastic city and a great city break or week long break location. Happy Xmas to al lour blog readers. You can also learn more about Paris cuisine online.
