1. Compared to the L and the tube, the Paris Metro is old, grimy, + smelly. Yes, it gets you to where you want to go, but I would much rather walk. Also, to get out of the Metro {trust me, you will want to do this as quickly as possible}, "Sortie" means exit.
2. The Parisian petit dejuener {breakfast to us Americans} consists of coffee or tea and a baguette or croissant. Sounds plain + boring, but I have never had better carbs than I've tasted in France. AND, they must be doing something right, because this meal can fill you up until dinner!
5. Macaroons are spelled Macarons in Paris. You will mac-a-croon over this dessert. Even Ross, who doesn't particularly enjoy macaroons liked the gooey, brownie-like filling of the chocolate flavored one.
