Paris Vacations and Cuisine - Crepes

When you embark on your Paris vacation, it is best if you can leave your traditional taste buds at home and savor some of the Parisian treats!  Long known for being the home of some of the best food in the world, Paris is also the home of some wonderful street vendors that mix up an incredible sweet crepe that you can get while wandering around the city.

These crepes are like a super thin pancake and layered on top is a variety of toppings depending upon your taste buds. Then quickly and elegantly wrapped the vendor presents it to you.  On our last trip to Paris, we experimented with every flavor and finally settled on our two top favorites.  Imagine bananas wrapped within a thin crepe, or chocolate and bananas, a sweet apple filling is also available.

While you might think that these are only a tourist treat, you will fine lines at some of the better ones filled with Parisians on lunch breaks or heading home.  That’s a sure sign that you’ve come across one that’s worth trying.

They make for a great mid-morning snack, after lunch treat or just about anytime.  My personal favorites are banana and chocolate and the lemon flavored one.  Let me know which ones you find work best for you!
