First day in Paris

On our first day in Paris we looked around a few different areas using food shops as our goal. We started at the Rue Lepic market in Montmartre and sampled some nice bakery goods there. We took a few photos of the beautiful streets here before realising that most of central Paris looks as good.
We then headed south towards the river to Rue Montorgueil (a nice strip of shops mentioned in a book called Almost French). We grabbed some rasberries, cherries and some Brie de Meaux(cheese) and then headed across the river to Rue du Cherche Midi. He we hit another bakery and took all our goodies and feasted in a nearby park. Very tasty!

One thing we have found is that Parisians have been very polite to us, despite the stories everyone had told us. My French classes stressed that you had to follow certain formalities and I think that this helps. My French itself has been good too, I have been able to say everything I need to and everyone seems to understand and they all reply to me in French (which I can also understand fine). Fingers crossed this good experience continues....
