After a smooth two-and-a-half-hour ride on the Eurostar, we stepped off the train and into the heart of Paris — the City of Love. It was our first time in the French capital, so naturally, we did what all first-timers do: made a beeline for Avenue des Champs-Élysées.
Tired from all the traveling around and literally running on fumes, we arrived at Café Georges V, one of the iconic brasseries that sits right on the boulevard, perfectly positioned for people-watching and soaking in the city’s high-octane energy.
The pan-seared duck breast served with golden potato slices and cabbage was rustic, hearty, and exactly what I needed after a long day of travel. No frills and just good, honest French cooking.
Jelloman chose the seafood gratin, which arrived bubbling hot from the oven, paired with poached potatoes and tender green beans.
There’s something magical about being in Paris for the first time. Sure, we’ve all seen the photos, read the guidebooks, heard the clichés. But it’s another thing entirely to sit here, on this legendary street, watching the world swirl past. Luckily, we still got three more days to wander, eat, and fall deeper in love with this city. 💗💗
