They vary from “superb” to “mediocre” to “duds” so to help you find la creme de la creme of baguettes here are some addresses. Check your arrondissement and follow your nose to these award-winning boulangeries. Ask or point to the “tradition”, “l’ancienne”, or “baguette de campagne” which are all very close in price and most likely never costing more than a euro fifty. Such a deal.

Délices du Palais

Up until February 2013 when it was revoked, there was a 214-year-old law which formally prohibited women from wearing trousers. The archaic law demanded women ask police for permission to dress as men in Paris less they be arrested. In 1909 the law was amended allowing women to wear trousers if the holding a bicycle handlebar or the reins of a horse. Obviously les flics have turned their cheeks for years.
French women’s rights activists….rejoice!

Find your way to Bercy Park on the outskirts of Paris (128 quai de Bercy 12th arr.) From May to November it is a garden wanderer’s paradise. In deep winter, it is a place of solace, contemplation. You definitely want to keep walking with your hands in your pockets with a follow up at one of the wine bars at the foot of the park.
Through the seasons the three landscapes change color and drama. The Romantic Garden features fishponds and dunes; the Flowerbed Garden is dedicated to plant life (I like the formal roses, labyrinth and scented garden); and “The Meadows” are an area of open lawns shaded by tall trees.
Allow for at least 3 hours of your day. Not on the average tourist beat, worth the effort.
