Some photos from our Parisian Adventures


Sophie and Olivia "goûte" the delicious saucisse d'Auvergne during our Paris by Mouth gastronomic tour.

Olivia and Sophie at the wine shop with the Sauvignon Blanc grape juice that was paired for us with the goat cheese tasting.  It is goat cheese season- did you know there is a season for goat cheese?  There is and it's now!  It runs from Spring to Fall -- when the milk is the best.  One of the many interesting facts we learned during our food tour!  My favorite was the Saint-Nicolas, a goat cheese from the Languedoc region that has a subtle thyme taste because the goat's graze on wild thyme.
