My mum and I ate at L’Entrecote on our Paris trips and zero shame. On our first visit, they put down a giant glass bowl of chocolate mousse in front of me and I was agog at the size. It was explained that I should take the portion I wanted and it would go on to the next mousse lover. We also did not realize l’addition would include a tip and were putting an American sized one out. The French couple at the next table said, “That’s too much” and instructed us on leaving a few coins.
For almost fifty years my spouse and I have taken nothing but active vacations—biking or hiking for hours every day, except on travel days. Now in our seventies, we wonder what we’re going to do for vacations in the event that one, or both of us can no longer bike, hike, climb, kayak, etc. I actually have no idea how we would spend our time.
Go active as long as you can! Nothing can compare, plus you really get to eat a lot more fantastic meals than you might otherwise feel is wise. We never lose weight on our vacations, but at least we don’t gain any, either.
Another enchanting essay from you. Thanks for brightening up my inbox.
L’Entrecote is one of the very best meals in Paris. That salad dressing!
I also buy paintings on holiday too. And dishes and tea towels. I love using every day things from my favorite dreamy places
