Discovering Parisian bakeries through a pastry chef’s eyes was delightful. What’s your opinion on the influence of local expertise on culinary tourism? Have you ever followed a food guide in a foreign city?

Exploring a city’s food scene with a local expert sounds like a dream! Local knowledge really brings out the heart and soul of each dish, making the experience so much richer. I’ve followed food guides before, and it definitely opened my eyes to hidden gems I’d never have found on my own. Parisian bakeries would be a treat to discover this way!

I think Paris has to be the ultimate pastry heaven! Any spots with those classic croissants that are super flaky?
