16. Tres Bien!
Eating in France was truly a transcendent experience. It was just as you said in Paris. Only the best survive and competition is fierce. We never ate in the hotel but always had the concierge make reservations for our party of 13-15. The service was amazing and the food indescribable.

In Cannes it was different. The food was just as good but the service was more free-form so to speak. More friendly maybe. Twice we had waitpeople ask to wait on us so they could practice their English and were guaranteed a good meal and personal service. Plus a chance to make friends and get tips about local attractions.

Thanks for the post. It took me back to some very good times. Italy and France definitely have us beat when it comes to food.
