First sentence: There are bistros, brasseries and bakeries; glamorous starred restaurants with views across the Seine: sleek jet-set haunts open late into the night; sprawling markets; street kiosks selling crêpes in winter; exotic canteens with spicy brochettes and beignets; speciality food shops carrying teas, chocolates, caviar, truffles, etc; kitchen stores laden with copper pots and whisks; patisserie windows as colourful as crown jewels; benches for picnics in the parks; café tables tumbling into the streets; and - best of all - a widespread, deep-rooted passion for food that will convert even the most abstemious of souls into bon vivants.
