Question
Lunch
Answer
Europeans don’t really do lunch! If you do find yourself hungry between 2pm and 7pm find a bistro or brassiere that provides all day service. Otherwise enjoy a big breakfast, have some afternoon snacks (gouter) and then find a spot for dinner! Depending on restaurant, you might want to make a reservation.
Question
Spring in Paris
Answer
The beauty of spring in Paris comes with clear blue skies, increasingly warm temperatures, and flowers bursting into bloom throughout the city. Parisians relax and sip wine at outdoor terraces in front of cafes, sit on park benches to soak up sun, and pack away their heavy winter coats in favor of light-weight trenches.
