❌❌ 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.
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.
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!

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.
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 :-)
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 😊😊
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.
I was watching another French RUclipsr’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.
@@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.
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!!!!
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.
Thank you we are going to be in Paris for 3 days after an unexpected flight layover we took advantage of. Your video is great and I like that you focus on the affordable options. I subscribed and am going to watch as many of your videos as I can!
O my...I think I would be in trouble if I get shipped to France. Cheese doesn't agree with me. However...the steak and fries would definitely work...just as long as no cheese is sprinkled on it. That's awesome that the fries are cooked in beef fat rather than highly processed canola oil...and I always appreciate high quality steak. 😊 Thanks for sharing Lucile.
This was so interesting, because my parents were Yugoslavs and my mother was a small part French (dating from the Empire, when her village was part of France), and the food education you described is exactly what I got, down to the smallest details. (My mother made sure I had things like artichokes before age five, so that I would accept them later. I still cook everything I eat.) I would have a problem eating in France now, because I became a vegetarian later in life, and I simply will not eat mammals, or birds unless the alternative were to starve. I've found that former Orthodox Christian countries are a lot more vegetarian friendly, as the Lent is vegan plus occasional fish. People are secular now, but food suitable for someone fasting for a religious reason is always around. Vegan Friday is still a thing. It's a bit of a pose for some people. It's not always for a sincere reason, but at least the choice is available. Eggplant and mushrooms, and lentils, are common meat substitutes, not soy or anything like that. 😊
I am loving your videos so much! My family is going to Paris next summer in June!! Very excited! I've already taken lots of notes from you. Thank you so much! 🩷
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 🇫🇷 🎉🥂🍷🍾
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.
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.
OMG! Lucileeee! How is it possible for me to have a wathering mouth right now when I just ate! I swear!!!! 🤤 tartara, mil hojas, the freaking sandwich!!!! everything looks so good!!!!!! I have to visit Paris someday 😭
New follower - not sure how I found your channel, but I did. Will be watching many videos (Italian and French food are high on my list of favorite foods - and wines). Gonna follow Mssr. Theo as well. He seems like a pretty cool dude!
Dear Lucile, I love your videos!! I'm also insanely impressed by the quality of the sound recording. Will you be so kind to share what microphone you are using to record the sound?? Thank you❤
Greetings from ireland. I love these videos and will be looking at them again before my next visit. Maybe one day you can do one about gluten free foods in Paris. My wife is coeliac and cannot eat gluten. Thanks.
I started a bicycle trip at Rocamadour a few years ago - very pretty place. Also, is that park you ate at the Jardin du Luxembourg? It looked a bit like it from what I could see. I lived in Paris for a couple of years (around Place Monge), and visit there almost every year (as part of a general European trip to see friends).
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
Yeah one thing i was shocked was THE steak tartate😂😂😂 i tried half of it as it was served and asked the waiter to well cook the other half of it:) An interesting adventure❤
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.
I love your videos. I want to take my wife on a picnic with sandwiches from BBT and a bottle of wine. Where would you recommend going for the picnic in Paris? Maybe your next video topic 😊
When I was in France, I absolutely fell in love with a pastry called Fondant, at least I think that is what it is called. It was a tiny dark chocolate cake with a very moist center. I tried these in several places around the country, including St. Tropez, Paris, and in towns along the road from Lyon to Normandy. Since I have been home (South East United States) I have tried with no success, to find something similar. I will keep trying, though, until my next visit.
@@btcctechnical No, I don't believe so. The cake had no icing or frosting, and was round, so not cut from a larger cake. It was dense, with a center bordering on not being baked all the way through, but it wasn't like a "Lava Cake" where the liquid center was like a sauce.
girl, this cheese-filled supermarket is the one I see in my dreams haha - may I ask which chain or local store it was where you filmed that part? :D Love the video. Instant subscribe!
Thanks for your video. I pinned some of the locations for my next visit. Can you share where you enjoyed your sandwich from Fric-frac? is there a patio on top of their building or did you take it away to enjoy elsewhere?
J'adore votre anglais. I like the sign at 4:22. It's a pun about the name of an old film called, "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly," except I think the words on the sign mean, "The Good, the butter, and the crooked."
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?
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.
Merci Bien Lucile, which spots do you suggest where to take photos in Paris, even with grey and cold weather? Grazie mille Cherie (I stole cherie from arsenio Lupin 3). Rock ON!
Whenever I'm in Paris, Monoprix 3:40 is usually my first choice to pick up some really nice, fresh food with reasonable price. And believe it or not for a native New Yorker, Monoprix check out cashiers are friendly. When I'm in a hurry, cashiers are also quit fast (as in purchase process). My friend loves the huge and extremely affordable wine list and price when compared to Costco prices. When you have a chance, please do a Paris popular supermarket comparisons. Like Monoprix vs Franprix vs Carrefour etc. My personal favorite neighborhood "tiny" supermarket is La Récolte Beaubourg at 43 Rue Beaubourg. Because the staffs are super nice and I love their ultra sweet grapes.
Hello, Monoprix for french people is realy the most expensive of the casual supermarket. The quality is usually better with more luxurious sourced products. You can expect to pay twice as much in a monoprix than in a low cost shop for the same grocery list. But sometimes i go there when I want to treat myself Also french food is a lot about transforming poor ingredients into great dishes (technique) opposed to italian cusine wich is more about getting the best out of the top quality ingredients. So we are not very reluctant to buy low quality stuff for 80% of the grocery, but we pay extra for the products that are not being cooked (like bread, cheese, ham ect) If i want a croque monsieur, wich has cooked bread ham and cheese, i will probably but the cheapest possible in every ingredients (so lidl, aldi ect), because it will deform the taste anyway
Hey Lucile, loved your video.. i was wonderiiiiiing if you could make one for the first time visitors for the olympics for couple of days. what's a must local place to squeeze in to eat and such... would be super cool for us =) merci in advance =)
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!
The French pastries are the best in the world. Plus, the varities in the Pâtisseries are awesome. You can try a different one every time. So even if I have a favorite, I can't remember because I loved trying different ones every time I went into a Pâtisserie. Plus, I never bought one.
So happy I've made you try my favorite tartare !! It was a pleasure to have lunch with you Lucile 🥰
It was so good!! Thank you so much Théo!!

Also french food is a lot about transforming poor ingredients into great dishes (technique) opposed to italian cusine wich is more about getting the best out of the top quality ingredients. So we are not very reluctant to buy low quality stuff for 80% of the grocery, but we pay extra for the products that are not being cooked (like bread, cheese, ham ect)
If i want a croque monsieur, wich has cooked bread ham and cheese, i will probably but the cheapest possible in every ingredients (so lidl, aldi ect), because it will deform the taste anyway
Hey Lucile, loved your video.. i was wonderiiiiiing if you could make one for the first time visitors for the olympics for couple of days. what's a must local place to squeeze in to eat and such... would be super cool for us =) merci in advance =)
Hi Lucile, may I know where did you get that crepe? Mind to share the place name? Thanks!
Grateful to have most of this stuff in our neighboring country:)
J’ai essayé la tartare du boeuf pour la première fois. c’était délicieux
C’est super bon ! :)
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
I‘m swiss and i gotta say that raclette is a swiss dish (coming from Valais, french speaking canton) 🇨🇭🥹
Loving your channel! please explain the whole Steak tartare thing. I thought that raw beef would make you sick? What's the secret, yes?
Our beef is fine to be consumed raw. No hormones :) I believe its only in the US you can't eat raw beef, in Japan I eat raw beef all the time too
Just discovered your videos. Your microphone is so clear - which brand do you use? 😊
My mouth is watering!!
I enjoyed your video! Vert fresh! Very Europeon!
Any recommendations for where to have raclette?
Switzerland, ...in a little village in the Swiss Alps, to be more precise. =O)
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!
Great video! Any recommendations for food or places to eat if you're vegetarian or at least pescatarian? Thanks!
Yes, I have quite a few! You can find a vegetarian option at most restaurants, I recommend you look at menus before though :)
The French pastries are the best in the world. Plus, the varities in the Pâtisseries are awesome. You can try a different one every time. So even if I have a favorite, I can't remember because I loved trying different ones every time I went into a Pâtisserie. Plus, I never bought one.
can you also make post, about fashion especially for men who dress in Paris style please ?
Avec un goût très raffiné 💯🙏🏿❤
Any veggie varieties of food?
I Love your videos! You make me want to go to France so bad : )
Superb
Thank you :)
Watching and drooling because I'm on a diet :)
Healthy eating and exercise. Nothing else works!
@@gardenroom65 Not that I asked for advice :) but that's what I'm doing
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 just found your channel.Are there no vegetarian options in restaurants? I don't mind cheese, but I don't eat pork.
