I went to Disneyland Paris during my last visit to the city in 2017, and it was great (of course) as all Disney parks are. It’s been several years, so I figured another visit was in order.
Croissant from Boulangerie Pâtisserie Ounissi
On this particular morning, I randomly decided that I should probably eat a croissant and found a well-regarded place that was within a few blocks of where I was; Paris being the magical place that it is, this just happened to be one of the best croissants I’ve ever had. It’s intensely buttery; borderline too buttery, but it never crosses that line (the paper bag it came in was spotted with grease within seconds, and was practically translucent by the time I finished). The exterior was delicately crispy in all the best ways, and the interior was light and fluffy, with just enough substance to hold together (it might actually be a touch too light and fluffy, but that’s a minor complaint). And that buttery flavour. Wowza.
I’ve already mentioned on this blog how impressive the Louvre is, but I feel like I should reiterate it, because… wow.
Remember the steps John Wick fights his way up in John Wick 4? You can go there! I went there.
I have (not surprisingly!) been eating quite well in Paris, but the meal I just had at Bistrot Victoires is going to be hard to top.
Yep, another city, another cemetery. This one can’t even come close to the amazing Monumental Cemetery in Milan, but it’s definitely worth a visit.
Breizh Cafe specializes in galettes (buckwheat crepes stuffed with various fillings), and wow. That’s all I’m going to say. Wow.
Okay, I guess I’ll say a bit more than “wow,” but I think that about sums it up.
Paris was amazing, but alas, it’s time to move on.
Seeing as how I’m a reasonable person who spent some time in Paris, I ate a lot of croissants. Do you want to hear about them? Every single one? No? Okay, here they are.
It might seem weird to go to Disneyland by yourself, but you know what? It’s the happiest place on Earth. You know what’s weird? Not going to Disneyland by yourself. Yeah, that’s right, I turned it around on you.
