Paris: croissants and coffee

After 10 years I got to go back to Paris. Heaven where my first pied-à-terre will be, I wish.

Me and a friend spent our time walking, looking, shopping, sitting in parks, eating. I drank more coffee then I usually do. I started drinking coffee late at the age of 34 and decided in that instance I would stick to high quality coffee. I couldn't have come to a better place then Paris for that. Because every big or small bar, coffe corner, lunch place, restaurant has a proper coffee machine. That big monster that only uses fresh grinded coffeebeans. And to top of it: croissants and baguettes do taste better in France.

Next time you're in Paris, pick a spot on a terrace, order coffee and a croissant. And they serve great tea as well. (My favorite Betjeman & Barton is a French brand.)
