Une Baguette / un croissant / un pain au chocolat - are all
part of daily French life. People buy them in the morning before breakfast, and
again a baguette in the evening before dinner. To meet the demand for these, and
other delights, any French city is full of baker shops - Boulangerie . Of course
Paris is no exception. Often placed on street corners, the city abounds with boulangerie
of all different types and styles. When you go and visit a friend in Paris (or
elsewhere in France) you'll need more than just the address - you'll also need
Le Code . Without it, you won't get past the outer door which usually
leads to a small inner courtyard, or a stairway. Some buildings do have an intercom
between the front door and the individual apartments, but most of the older buildings
do not. If you don't have the code, you'll have to find a nearby telephone to
tell your friends that you're stuck just outside - so close, and yet so far. |
