most would agree, one of the reasons to move to france is the food. food is available many different ways: you can sit at a restaurant or cafe and have a full meal (most places have prix fixe meals meaning one price covers an appetizer, entree and sometimes dessert); you can get something quick to go like a crepe (either sweet or savory) or croque monsieur; you can go to one of many outdoor markets and you can go to the supermarket.
i have had an occassional meal at a restaurant, but being on a budget i get most of my food from the farmer's markets and supplement that with a trip to the grocery store a few times a week.
i am glad i came to the land of chocolate and cheese, because the grocery store is choc full of both (if i drank wine i would be talking about that too). as you can see from my photo there are aisles in the store dedicated just to bar chocolate. of course there is an aisle for cookies (also including chocolate). there is chocolate in the yogurt, there is chocolate in the cereal (even the so-called "fitness" cereal!). there are dozens of varieties of both yogurt and cheese (no chocolate in the cheese though). you can also get your chocolate, cheese and wine from specialty stores.
i have made it my mission, dear reader, to try every variety in sight. i don't belong to a gym here, so thank goodness for the stairs in the metro.
