So happy I've made you try my favorite tartare !! It was a pleasure to have lunch with you Lucile 🥰

[@LucileHR]

It was so good!! Thank you so much Théo!!

[@doctormamathakondra6501]

❌❌ say no. to TARTAR❌❌..I HOPE YOU GUYS ARE AWARE OF THE DEADLY PARASITE INFECTIONS THAT COME FROM EATING RAW MEAT...PLEASE CHOOSE HEALTH OR IN THIS CASE CHOOSE LIFE OVER TASTE..wish u both good health..love ur videos.

[@hintex487]

​@@LucileHR I think so too! It’s fantastic!

[@surlespasdondine]

@@doctormamathakondra6501 you cannot change the French or their culture.

[@geovannymorajr.1065]

​@@LucileHR is it easy to make a croque monsieur?

[@NicholasMcClure]

So, bread, ham, cheese, wine. Got it.

[@lezleyd55]

And some good Jazz😊

[@Marcus_613]

If you really want to try the best French cheese, you should go to a "fromager" instead of the supermarket (shops that sell only cheese). If cheese from supermarket can be ok, those dedicated shops often take it to the next level.

Je serai à Antony entre le 1er et 8 aout. Seriez-vous dispo pour un repas pour vous remercier?

[@philipgoundrey3973]

I visited Paris at the start of June and was blown away with the food and wine!! Stayed in 17th ARR. after watching your channel. I have become a total croissant snob and have not found anything that matches Paris croissants in the UK 😂 Love the channel. Thanks for the excellent information.

[@LucileHR]

I love that you stayed in the 17th and that you had such a great time :)

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

I am glad for you Philip. I would say that NOTHING matches the quality of French pastries in the UK. If you love cakes and pastries I recommend you to visit Sicily for its superb cannoli and Vienna for everything sweet. PS: Forget about the overrated "Sacher torte", there are much nicer cakes in Vienna!

[@cantrait7311]

As a Parisian myself I got pleasure in just watching everyone in the video appreciating the various sweel/salty specialities. I even got a couple of new places to experience. What I may add to the comments is the following. About what you show as CREPE. Of course you find this a bit everywhere as street food because quick to prepare… but… a CREPE (made with wheat flour) is generally stuffed with something sweet (honey, jam, freshly melt chocolate, etc) unlike GALETTE which is prepared with buckwheat flour (top for gluten free people) which are indeed stuffed with salty ingredients (endless list: ham, grated cheese, mushrooms, onions, andouille, egg, braised leaks with bacon and bechamel…) To appreciate these differences, nothing best than having a dinner by a Creperie where they served galettes as main dish and crêpes as dessert. One word now about what you call APERO. Although the cheese you had might be found in some families, apero is more often made with wines and aperitives like pastis, port, aperol spritz, than are usually accompanied by a large selection of mini snacks that preceed the dinner: salted or spicely coated peanuts/almonds/cajus…, various crisps, black/white olives, various types and sizes of saucissons, bites of pâtés/terrines spread on Parisian crispy baguette, guacamole with tortilla chips, etc. Etc. Thank you for your videos :-)

[@oscararrieta326]

I was in Paris last week, a little chaotic because the Olympics games, but we had a good time, and all the fear about robberies and scams is too much exaggeration, just be careful in places like Gare du Nord.

[@arslongavitabrevis5136]

Excellent video! (as usual) Thank you for the tips! Here in Argentina, we have a strong French influence and I wonder if the croissant with ham and cheese which is so popular here is of French origin. Regards. Claudio.

[@LucileHR]

Hola Claudio!! Me gustaría tanto visitar Argentina!

[@chaddaifouche536]

Don't know if this was direct or just convergent evolution from croissant but you'll find croissants au jambon (ham croissant, with cheese and often béchamel) in all good boulangeries here in France.

[@sabrinabeardmore730]

Thank you for making me so hungry, but first it's an honor to take these travels with you and Bobby but on a serious note it's so beautiful there in paris.and the crepes look so delicious.all the food you've ever shown looks so good.be safe and stay well.from Florida see ya in the next video.

[@bengt_axle]

If you're going to France and are going to eat croissants, you have to get the ones that are made with only butter as the fat. Every decent croissant or pâtisserie in France will be "pur beurre" so many do not actually state this (some may have signs stating this). This is a major difference between French pâtisserie and industrialized US pastry that fills the shelves of Costco and discount grocery stores. The cheaper US stuff uses hydrogenated soybean, palm or other oils. French croissants look and taste wonderful because real butter browns beautifully and is a natural emulsification of water and fat, which gives just the right conditions to create a flaky dough. The flour in France is also better quality and contains its natural yeasts, which is why you can get wonderful baguette with little or no additives, as it often has been at least partially hand-kneaded and proofed. This is actually rare to find in USA. Outside of the large cities there are great boulangeries and pâtisseries that offer great stuff shown here.

[@OnlyGrans69]

I've been to France countless times and I don't think I've ever had a (fresh) croissant without real french butter lol? That's exclusively a non-european thing as far as I'm aware.

[@tiamarrow6366]

I was watching another French KZbinr’s video on the best croissants in France and he actually said that unfortunately a majority of the croissants in at least Paris are made in factories not by hand, with pure butter as the fat. So you really have to find any real French bakery that has made by hand croissants.

[@bengt_axle]

@@tiamarrow6366 The lamination (interleaving of butter and dough) is always done by machine -- even when they are rolled by hand. This allows large tiles of butter to be used in a machine that does the work of rolling repeatedly, without heating up the dough and melting the butter. If you'd like to learn more, @KrisKazlauskaite is a professional baker and has an entire channel devoted to croissant and patisserie! I believe, according to French consumer law, a boulangerie is a place where the dough is made on the premises (and then baked), while a "fournil" can be a place where dough manufactured off-site, is just baked and sold fresh.

[@MDL-lw9my]

Love your content Lucile! Always look forward to it. I am a wine and cheese lover…and specifically love Burgundy, Rhône, and Bordeaux wines. Cheers 🇫🇷 🎉🥂🍷🍾

[@LucileHR]

Thank you so much for watching! Nothing better than a few cheeses and a glass of wine :)

[@Desi_Des]

Just got back from Paris after spending two weeks there and saw all my longtime friends. I ate so well and love the food in Paris, everything is so fresh. I love the architecture and think Paris is so beautiful and romantic. I like the Marais and there’s so much going on there.

[@LucileHR]

I love the Marais too, it's one of the most beautiful neighborhoods of Paris

[@Arysha_]

Croque monsieur is easy to make at home, 9€ for one is so expensive i feel, so i recommend trying to make them :) !

[@yaowsers77]

I had croissants at the next best place outside of France: Montreal! Amazing! Lol can't wait to try it in France in 2 years.

[@Jiggledo]

We are planning our first trip to pairs In October, I love your videos.

[@victoriaguerin2851]

My favorite French sandwich is the pain bagnat (or the Tunisian version with harissa) and my favorite crèpe is with crème de marron (chestnut cream). I also love salade Niçoise. Can you tell that I've lived in Provence?

[@LB-ec4uf]

Everything is ham, ham and ham!!!! And if it's not ham, it's cheese.

[@arenson9]

As a vegetarian, only four of this list are for me, but I did have all of them on our recent trip to Paris! Our crepes, apero, and gouter were good but nothing special, but the Patisserie? Fantastique!

[@Busybeeee]

Pour moi, il n’y a rien de meilleur qu’un bon croissant au beurre, croustillant à l’extérieur et doux à l’intérieur. 😊Oh et les baguettes de Brie vendues à tous les coins de la rue ! Paris me manque ! Merçi pour cet excellent video Lucille 😊😊

[@a.humphries8678]

We visited, and my husband was so skeptical about the food. He was blown away by the quality of it all. It was so amazing! Also, had the pleasure of visiting Rocomadour!! I'm just dreaming of when I can visit France again!! I went to London 6 weeks ago, and I just really wanted to pop back over to Paris!!!!

[@sheperdbesecker1618]

Been to France a few times. HOW DO THEY STAY SO THIN! Once I sat next to a slim frenchwoman, I was eating alone, so was she, and she looked like she ordered the truck driver special of the day--and polished it off. Tiny lady. And there are all these "snack" times in between! American food must be loaded with junk.

[@shihlin1]

The French have such a rich diet --- butter, cheese, sweets, creme and MORE Cheese ! Seriously I never see an fat or even overweight French person. We were walking the streets of Paris and not ONE overweight French person. If Americans ate like this, well, you know what happens......😅 😅

[@ajrobins6208]

Could I order Steak Frites and request lean meat? Or cooked medium well? Please advise. Thank you!

[@skatingcanuck9837]

I was very surprised, but I think I saw a Canadian cheese in there. Quebec makes a lot of nice craft cheeses, but I am surprised France would want to import pasteurized cheese. I remember having a conversation with a French man who said pasteurization ruined the flavour. I was surprised the sandwich you bought had only meat and butter without any toppings like veggies. The best fries I've had in my life were in France.

[@alexsim2217]

Hello,,,my family and I will be visiting Paris in Sept for 3 nights, do you have any recommendation for lunch and dinners, thank you very much...Alex

oh Rocamadour is smelly but amazing cheese! Also Rocamadour is a beautiful place but my favourite is still Carcassone and their goose liver products

I had that ham when I was in Paris and didn't know what is was called...thank you for solving the mystery!

That steak tartare entree looks so delicious! Lucile do you ever eat Korean food? There is a Korean dish called yukhoe (seasoned raw meat) that is made with Korean pear, sesame oil, and some seasoning. I would love to see a video of you exploring Asian food in Paris including Korean food.

[@barrygeary1890]

Im so looking forward to paris for October this year your vidio was a great help thank you must try the crepes im flying from dublin Ireland to charles de gauill paris

So, steak frites is the fish and chips of Paris? Does your husband speak French? It'd be great for you to have a video only speaking it together.

[@Lightcode]

I’ve never heard a French say “krape” and not ”krep” just curious about that pronunciation of crêpe

I wonder if you asked for the steak frite to be cooked medium rare, would the chef just not cook it at all or burn the steak completely? I don’t think I could ever eat a rare steak 🥩.
