**CULINARY PARIS **    **GOURMET PARIS**     **GOURMET DAY IN PARIS**    **PARIS FOR FOODIES**   

1. Let's Talk About Food - From oysters to oils, from fish to fowl: exotic delicacies, incomparable specialty shops and colorful open-air markets will seduce you, as we take you on the culinary journey of a lifetime. Together we will ogle, fondle, nibble and poke our way through the city where the very word restaurant was invented (restaurer: to restore your body and soul); interact with locals while discovering French chocolates, cheeses, salts, wines, champagnes, truffles, coffees, teas, mouth-watering breads, pastries, much more. Gourmet cookware? We know the places. Fine old Armagnacs? Right this way. We can spice up your day with a visit to a specialty market (African, strictly organic...) or arrange a delectable multi-course meal at a leading culinary school or recommend a fantastic cooking class. At the end of your Gourmet Day, why not digest it all over a coupe de champagne or plate of exquisite cheeses and charcuterie accompanied by the perfect glass of wine? Why not indeed. Only the insatiable need apply.

2. Eat Like The French Day - Paris is a woman. And she’s thin. And she’s French...

Is it true French women don’t get fat? Welcome to France, where looking good is de rigeur, cheeses have a season, food allergies are virtually unheard of, and children practically beg for seconds on vegetables... You'll learn the secrets of the lifestyle that keeps the French thin, fit, and living longer despite a diet reputed for being replete with butter, animal fat, cream and red meat. Treat yourself to a day guaranteed to transform the way you shop for, look at, and think about food, forever.

3. A very special evening: The Art Of The French Apéritif -

In France, the magical "apéro" - that never-skipped pre-dinner bonding practiced from the northernmost tip of Normandy to the southernmost bungalow in Corsica (or wherever the French may be in the world) is as integral and important a part of the meal as the main course. A ritual dating as far back as the Middle Ages, the French apéritif, today consisting of a litany of specific light drinks and delicate nibbles, serves to both "open" the appetite (from Latin "aperire") and as a convivial way to ease into the meal before heading to table. And, as to be expected, there are Rules... Three apéritifs, from the simple to the sublime, with recipes. Held in a private Parisian home. 4 to 6 persons. Evenings only from 6 to 8 p.m. "Along with cooking classes and cheese and wine tastings, this is a fun, fabulous addition to the Paris food scene!"
