If I could sum-up our trip to Paris in 3 things, it would be:
1) Baguettes…
2 ) Chocolate…
3) Baguettes and Chocolate…
Okay, fine- I’d also add in Cafe Au Lait, French Onion Soup and maybe a little sightseeing 
Seriously though, the food in Paris was amazing! At first I was bummed when I found out our hotel didn’t include breakfast, but then I realized what an opportunity it was to start the day getting in a long walk while perusing every adorable cafe along the street and what pasties they had inside!
My husband ate a baguette sandwich nearly every chance he had. They’re available everywhere, are cheap and always fresh! I never grew tired of seeing people everywhere carrying fresh baguettes, especially the many times it was peeking out of their briefcase or shopping bag; the day can’t be complete without one of these!
Below is one of my favorite meals- it was our last afternoon in Paris and clearly we went out with a bang 
My husband and I each got a bowl of their rich French Onion Soup that came with this basket of fresh French Bread and then because we had been craving it all week, shared a side of French Fries. It was heaven at a Parisian cafe.
Another one of our favorite meals was at a quaint and cozy little restaurant filled with locals as well as tourists, who were all looking for something warm, comforting and perfect to share: fondue. We had the “3 cheese fondue” that was smooth, rich and the perfect ending to a day of walking nearly 10 miles throughout the city. The funny part is that I ordered the “vegetarian” dish to accompany this so I could fill-up on something other than only cheese and bread and I was given salmon with a side of veggies
Whenever we travel, we try to bring some of our own snacks so that we don’t have to buy every meal out. During this trip, we brought along these trail mixes and granola bars from Trader Joe’s. I love these trail mixes- they’re filled with almonds, cashews and dried cranberries. They’re small, easy to carry and incredibly filling. This way, most days we were able to get a later breakfast, enjoy these in the afternoon and then fill-up at dinner!…
In the next post, I’ll be sure to tell you more of what I saw other than food (I promise, we didn’t just look at bread and pastries the whole trip). But for now, I’ll leave you with one of the most memorable foodie sights that we repeatedly saw throughout the trip: Nutella the size of my overpacked suitcase.
