The Museum of Food: Foods to Eat in France 🇫🇷

6 foods and 1 wine to enjoy when visiting

We all usually focus on travel experiences and seeing destinations when planning a trip. Maybe we have some fantastic hotel that a trip is built upon.

I’d argue that food should be a part of the decision-making process and not just a way to fill the hole in your belly.

On my tours, I curate what foods we eat, and I call it the Museum of Food.

With all eyes on Paris and France for the Olympics, I’d take you on a stroll through the French wing of the Museum of Food. Here’s my quick list of the food to eat in France:

Pastry

You all know croissants, but if you haven’t had a warm one actually in France, you’ve never had one. They should be almost gooey, flaky, buttery and crisp all at the same time. They should definitely not taste like bread.

Considering that they are not exactly low-calorie, I like to do a pastry tasting, buying several kinds and cutting them into bites. Pain au chocolat, pain au raisin, chausson au pomme, and on and on. Heck, even if you’re alone you should buy one of each and have a bite.

You only live once, people.
