To experience French gastronomy, do not limit yourselves to cuisine of the mainland alone. Permit yourselves to delight in the rich and exotic flavors found in the cuisine of Outre-Mer( Overseas France).
One can say that the cuisine of Outre-Mer is eclectic. Caribbean, European, Indian, African and Asian influences are found in their recipes.
Boudins, accras, canard à la vanilla, bouillon d’awara, and poison cru are just a few well knows dishes that you simply must taste when you get an opportunity.
The food of Outre-Mer will certainly give you a gastronomical experience worth trying.
The Louvre for me is a wonderful experience. Because it continues; it didn’t get cut off. It was actually a continuous involvement all the way, and a lot of people have come and gone, come and gone; but I’m still here.
I simply have to agree! Visiting the Louvre is an experience.
The Louvre is a museum of art. It is located in Paris,France.
Did you know that the Louvre is over a 200 years old and was once a fortress?
The beautiful glass pyramid we see in photos depicting the Louvre was built much later in 1988. This structure is a landmark.
The museum displays different forms of art and many ancient antiquities as well. There are 35,000 art work and over 350,000 objects on display.
There is so much to see that I would think you would need more than a day to actually explore and experience all that it has to offer you.
The Louvre is also famous for the Mona Lisa, a painting by Leonardo da Vinci.

The Louvre experience makes you have a whole new appreciation for art. Here is a lovely quote that describes how Susan Vreeland feels after having visited the Louvre.
Coming out of the Louvre for the first time in 1971, dizzy with new love, I stood on Pont Neuf and made a pledge to myself that the art of this newly discovered world in the Old World would be my life companion.

The lyrics from the refrain of a French song.
Does it evoke a desire to be sitting at a French café drinking cafe au lait?
Ah! Café. For those of you who are coffee lovers, this is the dream!
For those of you who don’t know the difference between café au lait and white coffee, let me enlighten you. Café au lait is prepared by adding hot milk. White coffee is prepared by adding cold milk.
For those of you who like facts, Café au lait is originally French. There are apparently variations of it around the world.

Sound familiar? We have been hearing these warnings and advice since we were hit with the pandemic.
The pandemic certainly paralyzed the whole world.
This unexpected virus turned our world upside down.
Endless death and loss of life made us realize that we need to value what we have be thankful for it.
It also made us seriously evaluate new options of living and doing things.
Work culture went online. Schools and classes went online.
Thank goodness for the internet!
People started to embrace and cherish the little moments and things.
But with all this let us not forget to be cautious and continue to stay safe.
