Location:
Outside the Louvre.
Paul, the French bakery (since 1889) came highly recommended by our friend A, so when we discovered a kiosk outside the Louvre, we stood right in line!
I must say, eating a chocolate chip baguette and tomato, mozzarella and basil sandwich under the shade of a tree in the Carrousel Gardens was one of the best experiences of the whole trip.

One of my favourite "go-to" bakeries in Toronto is Michel's. It's an European-inspired cafe/bakery and there are several locations in Ontario. It reminds me of Paul's in Paris. No nonsense pastries, sandwiches and cafe lattes.
It's the perfect spot for a giggly group of girls women to go without bothering anyone.
The pastries are delicious.
Perhaps not as good as in Paris, but when you're with a group of good friends, who knows where you really are?
TRAVEL: Paris: McDonald's
TRAVEL: Paris, France: Amorino
Location:
16 Rue Huchette
75005 Paris, France
As we were walking around the Latin Quarter, we noticed many touristy restaurants, none of which looked appealing.
THEN, we saw Amorino!
The famous gelato joint which was one of the must-dos on my list!
The line-up was huge, but the wait wasn't long until we had our very own giant cone with as many flavours as we wanted (that's right, as.many.flavours.as.you.want) arranged beautifully into a flower.
