There is a 6 hour time difference between Paris and Montreal. When we arrived at 8:30 am, our internal clocks were still ticking at 2:30 am. We arrived at our hotel at noon. The concierge upgraded us from a studio to a full-size apartment. Everyone wants to be our friend.
As tired as we were, we couldn’t resist finding a Parisian café. The blackboard menu was presented by a pleasant young waitress who offered to translate. We thanked her and kindly but opted to practice our French. I chose pan-fried sardines, prawns et frites; Monica, tagliatelle with scallops. In the space of one hour, the café filled and emptied for lunch.
We strolled along a nearby market – fruit stands, Fromageries, Boulangeries and wine shops - scavenging morsels of food for an evening cocktail party. We found fresh figs, baked aubergine stuffed with ricotta and chicken, a cracked pepper and herbed brie and a traditional French baguette.
Does the 100-mile diet still apply if YOU do the travel instead of the food being shipped?
