Say Cheese!

In 1962, Charles de Gaulle famously quipped “How can you govern a country which has two hundred-forty-six varieties of cheese?” Today in France, I believe President Macron is probably occupied by more than the over 450 different fromages available for his constituents. In fact, the French are the largest consumers of this dairy delight on the planet, topping out at over 57 pounds per person annually. Americans didn’t even make the ‘Top Seven” list at about 33 pounds per person…and it is questionable how much of that is what others would consider ‘real cheese’.

Like everything else in France, the partaking of cheese has its own set of rules and rituals. Bien sur (of course). So. Let’s travel to spy on a little dinner party and get the lay of the land before we land on the lait… and ask some pertinent questions:

WHEN? Unlike Anglophone countries, the French serve the cheese course after dinner and before dessert. NOT before drinks. Now, there are some bistros in Paris that haven taken to serving a warm brie appetizer, which flies in the face of tradition: totally a tourist thing—don’t be fooled.

WHO? At home, the course is passed from oldest female guest to youngest and ends with the hostess. Then, the process starts again with the men arriving lastly at the host. Yours truly particularly loves this little custom. The bread conveyance is a more casual affair. Oh…and crackers? Quelle horreur! Never. You may accompany your selections with a simple green salad tossed in a vinaigrette.

WHAT: This is easy. You go from weakest to strongest flavor. If you want to do it by sight, it usually means going from your hardest to your softest (or runniest) cheese. And a word to the wise: One never says ‘stinky’. The correct word is ‘strong’. Or, let’s do it in French: ‘fort’.

WHERE? While intimidating for first timers, the savvy hostess will never pre-slice her cheese because this faux pas will surely compromise the moisture and flavor…messing with your palate? Quel crime! For round cheese, cut a small wedge and remove it with the blade of your knife. Wedges are to be cut diagonally across the bottom so that the last person is not left with the rind. Logs are naturally cut end to end into thin slices with a butter knife. Very soft or runny cheeses may actually need a spoon. All fans of Jerry Seinfeld will love this: DON’T double dip. There’s a knife or spoon for each offering—it’s not okay to mix them up.

HOW: Let’s start with how much: While you may be thrilled at your choices, please be polite and select no more than three. Your servings should be about as thick as your pinkie finger. And, sadly, only one pass of the platter is considered sufficient. Which would explain our perceptions of thin French women with excellent digestive systems.

How to ingest: While hard-core fromagiers will tell you to pair your wine with the same region of the cheese’s provenace, most folks will be happy to serve a bottle of decent red (you know me, the Cotes du Rhone girl). Remember most rinds are edible, and it’s where the strongest flavor is. Oh yeah…and resist the urge to spread cheese on bread like cream cheese on a bagel. It’s a dab. Really.

WHY: Now that you know this, will you be banished from an establishment for breaking these long-held traditions? NAH! Rules are made to be broken….and isn’t it nice that we know there is such passion for a basic food group that they even make wedding cakes out of it?

Come ‘say cheese’ with us! At Bon Voyage our goal is to give women the small group experience they expect and deserve…and have the journey of a lifetime in the process! Join us for 9 days that will last forever in your heart and mind. Only 3 openings left for our October 22-30, 2017 “Come to Paris for the First Time. Again” Voyage.

My Brain on (yes…French!) Chocolate


I am in countdown mode for our next journey to Paris…which isn’t really a fair statement, because I’m ALWAYS in countdown mode to get back to my favorite city in the world. Why? Today the reason is one word: CHOCOLATE.


And while not as ubiquitous as cafés, croissants and the Eiffel Tower, there is something about chocolate in Paris that harkens to everything in us from the child who excitedly peers into Christmas morning packages to the sophisticated adult who tastes the sublime perfection in their first “Palet D’Or” (a flat, round pure dark chocolate bonbon). Once you have educated your palate and savored the gustatory delights of what is arguably the finest product in world, you will notice that your cocoa selections will be made with a more rigorous appetite. Spoiled for life. That’s you.


Can it truly be that different an experience, you may ask? Take a little tour in your imagination into one of my special havens: A chocolatier! Even with your eyes closed, you know what you are there to taste…there is NO other smell than chocolate. And when you think it cannot be more intense, the Confiseur will delicately place a carré (small square) of chocolate in your hand: Lift it up to your nose and inhale. Open your eyes and look! Your chocolate should be smooth, shiny and clear of blemishes. Much like wine tasting, inspecting and sniffing the product is essential in the tasting.


Okay…not so fast! Now you break the chocolate piece in your hands. You are listening and feeling for a nice firm ‘snap!’ – an indication that what you have is fresh and of the utmost quality. Old, re-constituted and ‘fake’ chocolates will ‘bend’ in your hands. Some will have a whitish surface known as “bloom” – a clear indicator that they have not been stored properly or aged well.


Ready to taste….but just a little at the start. Bite off a tiny piece with your front teeth (looking for the same snap you felt with your hands) and then move it to the middle of your tongue. Place your tongue up against the roof of your mouth and let the chocolate slowly melt. Is there more than one taste? Does it start salty and end sweet? Is there a bitter aftertaste? If you breathe through your tasting, can you smell flowers? It all depends on the provenance of the chocolate, and your knowledgeable Confiseur can guide you through the tasting process to find your favorite flavor. True aficionados with refined palates can actually tell you what country the chocolate came from; me, I’m lucky to tell you if I can taste roses or honey in the mix…and I’m darn proud of that meager accomplishment.


And lest your diet-frenzied friends decide to berate you on your choice of food, you can tell them that chocolate should be held up as the fifth food group. Check this out: according to a 2017 article in Harvard Health Publications, there are studies that evidence chocolate as having a positive impact on improved brain blood flow, oxygen levels and nerve function. Other research has shown chocolate to decrease dangerous cholesterol (LDL) and increase the good cholesterol (HDL). Never mind that it contains a great amount of minerals, caffeine (which boosts our endorphins and our serotonin) and the stuff just tastes darn good. Oh. Did I mention that there is no link between eating a modicum amount of chocolate and weight gain? BAM!


And there is so much more to know! Milk…or dark….? Hot cocoa. Does that count? How can I compare? Wait a minute. Now you just have to go on our little chocolate walk. In Paris. And taste that little bit of sweet heaven for yourselves. C’mon, we have room for you!


At Bon Voyage our goal is to give women the small group experience they expect and deserve…and have the journey of a lifetime in the process! Join us for 9 days that will last forever in your heart and mind during our October 22-30, 2017 “Come to Paris for the First Time. Again” Voyage.

Reflections on CROISSANTS…

I’ve heard it said that we all have two nations. Our own. And France. This might explain my personal desire to master my inner ‘French-ness,’ particularly in matters of etiquette and culture…can you really point to anything more quintessentially Parisian than a flaky-buttery-baked-to-perfection-melt-in-your-mouth croissant? Just thinking about that crescent shaped pastry makes my tummy grumble with anticipation and joy. YUM!

I don’t need to tell you (but I will) that even the most reliable of specimens found outside of France pale in comparison to what you will taste when you are actually sitting at a local café or standing in a pâtisserie or boulangerie. What can I say? I’ve heard there is a difference in the composition of the wheat. Perhaps bakers are trained to handle dough differently. Or maybe it’s just the fact that you are thousands of miles away from home. There is no denying that a fresh-out-of-the-oven croissant is an experience that your taste buds will remain in your taste bud memory banks forrrr-everrr.

There is an old baker’s adage: ‘Le pain, ça se respecte’ that translates into roughly ‘Respect the bread’. That surely goes for croissants as well; so, before you go charging into the first local establishment and demand a Coke and croissant for your cultural repast (…what? I’ve SEEN it done), here are three observations toward making this palate-pleasing experience a truly authentic moment:

1. Most croissants are baked in the early hours of the morning; therefore, they are at the peak of freshness before 10:30 am. It is a small wonder that they are considered a breakfast food by locals. For the very best experience, go directly to a pâtisserie. Order this pastry at lunch or dinner and two things happen: a) you give yourself away as a silly tourist; and, b) you are likely to be confronted with stale (if any) product. Consider yourself warned.

2. There are two acceptable ways to handle a croissant: First, you can tear off small bites starting and one end and working your way to the other. This works particularly well if you like jam on your pastry. Second, you may take your napkin and wrap it around one end of the pastry and eat it down from that end. This is a suitable method for dunking your croissant into a hot liquid such as coffee or hot chocolate. When you get down to the last little bit, remove the napkin and pop it delicately into your mouth. Note: The angle of attack is always from the end…going at a croissant from the middle weakens its structure and is likely to have the whole mess fall apart in your lap, shirt and everywhere else in the vicinity.

3. The French seem to be pretty sniffy about adding butter to something that already is baked with TONS of butter, so I’d say adding butter is sort of a no-no. Jam, on the other hand, seems to be fine, as long as you use the method of tearing small bites and using your knife to apply the jam to each individual piece. Anything else you begin to pile on this pastry (like cheese or meat) makes it look like a sandwich and now we are talking using forks and knives because it’s no longer a croissant and true locals insist on attacking these things with the full fusillade of cutlery at their disposal. Trust me, there is no such thing as a ‘Croissanwich’ on the McDonald’s menu in Paris.

Armed with this knowledge, you can now concoct your own croissant consummation scheme. It’s up to you how you choose to enjoy your bit of Parisian pastry. The best part is that you know enough to tell what side the consumers play on: Home Team or Visitors.

Honor your need for a genuine journey of discovery. Life is too short to stay in one place, so come taste the world with us!

Thirsty for knowledge? How to Quaff Like a Parisian

I always travel in the spirit of adventure; and any hints about the local scene are considered a boon to my experience. With this in mind, I am sharing suggestions for drinks to order when face-to-face with your ‘serveur’ in Paris…perhaps you will find a new favorite, or maybe you’ll just be one step closer to blending in with “those in the know…

Here are five that you can order by simply saying:

1. “Un Café Crème”: This is the equivalent to what those of us across the pond would identify as a ‘cappuccino’ or a ‘café au lait’. Interestingly enough, Parisians will think it’s a bit weird if you order this beverage at any time other than breakfast. ‘Un express’ (black coffee in a small cup) is considered ‘de rigueur’ at other times. Hey, if you think Starbucks’s invented the coffee culture, you would be dead wrong…Paris elevated this bean into an art form. I could wax eloquent on your choices, but that would fill another page. And you’d have to ask me to do that. Ha.

2. “Un Kir Royale”: A mixture of champagne and blackcurrant liqueur. Or, you can order a plain ‘Kir’, a drink originated in Burgundy, France and named after the priest Canon Félix Kir, who was a hero in the French resistance during WWII. A fan of local products, he created a drink by mixing white wine and the local blackcurrant liqueur (Crème de Cassis). This is the perfect drink for apéro (aperitif) time. Warning: they go down ‘way too easy.

3. “Un Citron Pressé”: A favorite summer drink…and sort of a French DIY lemonade. Your ‘serveur’ brings you a glass full of ice and undiluted lemon juice. On the side, a small carafe of water. Sugar packets complete the ensemble. You mix to taste. Yep. It’s a lemonade. And a sneaky way to get an ice fix in a country that doesn’t believe in those cubes. Delicious! But, alas! They are a summer drink.

4. “Un Côtes-du-Rhône”: This the quintessential red wine that you can order at a café, bistro, or restaurant and a safe bet in Paris, particularly if you are not a wine connoisseur. What do you need to know? Typically, it’s a blend, rather than a single wine –although it is mostly composed of Grenache. You are pretty safe drinking Côtes-du-Rhône with meat or fish and it’s likely to be on every menu for a decent price. You can order it by the glass, demi-bouteille (half-bottle), or go whole hog. I’ve seen this served at breakfast, so I’d say…there’s no time like the present.

5. “Un Monaco”: Want a different way to try beer? This is it. A Monaco is beer, lemonade and pomegranate juice- served C-O-L-D. It’s not for everyone, and you do have to be in the mood. At the end of a hot day of hoofing around the steamy streets of Montmartre, it can be quite delightful. Best reserved for the warmer months.

The nice thing about this list is that you don’t have to look at a menu to see if these options are available, because they are staples of the well-stocked establishment. And most establishments in Paris are fairly well-stocked, so you run a pretty good chance of getting what you want. Nice, right?

In all fairness, I have no illusions that my ‘oh-so-French’ écharpe (scarf), flawless table manners or choice of beverage will fool even the unversed waiter into thinking I’m even remotely local. That’s not the point. I’ve noticed that even the sternest scrutiny will melt under a genuine effort at cultural embracement. Maybe you can think of this list of thirst quenchers as educational arm-openers.

Just don’t blame me if you go from the figurative to the literal sense of open arms if you’ve had one too many. Better yet, pack your bags and come along with us if you want sparkling company fascinating stories and great food to accompany those drinks.

OF ALL THINGS FRENCH, OR NOT...

And while we’re going to revel in all things à la Française, there might be a misconception that we hold about the origin of our favorite Gallic namesakes. Not that the use of any of these will get you into any trouble on the streets of Paris; I thought it might be fun for you to know that not everything that is called ‘French’ is well… you know…

Here are five of my favorites, in no particular order:

1. French Fries: The ubiquitous golden potato, crisp and crunchy. Much to chagrin of locals, some of who will argue against the truth, the ‘French Fry’ actually hails to the 1600’s Belgium, according to historians, where the oil-cooked spud was originally traced back. Fast forward to the 1800s, Thomas Jefferson referred to fried potato strips as “frying potatoes in the French manner”. Oh, and in France…they call ‘em “frites” (which means ‘fries’). A small aside: frites are Anita’s hands-down, all-time, favorite food. Travel with us and you will see her order these at EVERY meal. Yes, they are THAT good.
2. French Toast: Please don’t try to order this in Paris. While the earliest versions of this dish can be found in writings of the Roman Empire, the actual recipe – and name was first used in 17th-century England and brought to America by early settlers. In France the dish is called ‘pain perdu’ (which means ‘lost bread’) and is made with very stale baguettes, very little egg and bears no resemblance to the fragrant dish that we know and love on this side of the pond.
3. French Manicure: Um…yeah. Not French in the least. Developed by Jeff Pink, the creator of Orly nail polish in California in response to Hollywood directors who wanted their actresses to spend less time in make-up. Pink came up with the neutral and elegant solution of beige nails and white fingertips that matched all outfits and named it synonymous with elegance, sophistication, and style: the French Manicure. The truth? Per capita, there are way more nail salons in the average American city than in Paris. When polled, French women responded they would rather spend their money on getting their hair rather than their hands done. So there.
4. French braid: Please. The place to start is North Africa, where people have been wearing the three-strand gathered plait for thousands of years, and the earliest evidence of the style comes to us from the Tassjlj n’Ajjer mountain range in Algeria. We do look cute in those braids, though…
5. French Kiss: In France, it is referred to as ‘un ba**er amoureux’ (a lover’s kiss) or ‘un ba**er avec la langue’ (a kiss with the tongue), but the original name belies its roots: ‘un ba**er Florentin’ (a Florentine kiss). Popular use of the term came into being after WWI, when British and American soldiers returned home from Europe and greeted their wives and girlfriends as they observed the “sexually adventurous” French doing – with l***y, passionate kisses. And to this I say, forget the Florentines, Vive La France!

Does any of this burst your bubble about going to Paris? OF COURSE NOT! There are so many other things that originated in the Gallic mindset (try shopping malls for one; streetlights, for another) that it will be no wonder why people try to associate all delicious, beautiful, and sexy things with France. The challenge is for you and your journey of discovery – and that is why you need to check out Bon Voyage. I can assure you we are the real deal!

Petit Pointers for Parfait Paris Pics

Alliteration aside, if you are headed to Paris, your destination is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It makes sense that you should return with some fabulous photos of your journey. N'est-ce pas ? And yet, most of what I see can be reduced to two categories: the obligatory selfie in front of whatever famous monument, painting or statue happens to be the tour stop of the moment; or, the downward shot of a plate of undecipherable foreign mélange atop a white plate (which may or may not have a bite taken out of it…). Bo-ring.

Here are five suggested alternatives that will have you looking at the City of Light from a different perspective and will guarantee some interesting snapshots (and memories) for you to cherish when you are back home:

1. Look for interesting people: when you focus on someone other than yourself, the world has a tendency to open up in wonderful ways. The accordion player on the bench, the old lady crossing the street, and people waiting in lines are great subjects. In these times, the police and the military can be pretty interesting among everyday people. Professional photographers must get written permission from the people they shoot; travelers must be polite and discreet –as long as you’re cool, everyone else will be too.
2. Look at buildings in a different way. Check out the doorways. Or the windows. Or the mail slots. Take many photos of the same thing across different buildings. Or many different buildings painted in the same color. Or collect photographs of candy shop windows. You get the idea.
3. Photograph stained glass. It’s not just in churches in France. And when you are in churches, forget the saints and check out heaven. Literally. The ceilings in Parisian churches are amazing and have beautiful lighting…just be careful you don’t end up with the dreaded travel-related injury ‘cathedral neck’.
4. Enjoy your jet lag. Streets are blissfully empty in the middle of the night. If you don’t want to brave leaving your hotel room, lean out your window and use your height to take interesting pictures of the buildings at night. Maybe you can get to a rooftop and snap the Eiffel Tower in her shining glory. Then you won’t feel guilty about enjoying your nap.
5. Don’t forget the details: The face of an angel, a bottle of perfume, a rose on a bush, ONE macaroon…take an extra step into the city around you to focus on something that catches your attention for that one brief moment.

In the end, your collection of photos should evoke a series of emotions for you: to remember your connection to a particular day and time in Paris that is totally different than how anyone else could ever experience it. Now, THAT is a Bon Voyage. For anything else, you can probably buy a postcard.

Just in case, I took all these photos myself. With an IPhone6S.

DON'T FORGET TO TAKE TIME TO SMELL THE ROSES

Ever come back from a vacation feeling like you need another vacation? If your life is an endless series of should-do’s and bucket lists, it’s not a difficult leap to bring that mentality along when you travel on holiday, and then punish ourselves into having all the ‘fun’ we can possibly pack into jet-lagged, food-fueled, sight-seeing days and nights. Returning home, we consider ourselves victorious if we are armed with a zillion snapshots and the ability to Facebook the equivalent of “What I Did Over My Summer Vacation”. Whew.

Frankly, I’ve given up that kind of travel. I can only keep that pace up for a day or two before everything begins to look the same. Also, I’ve learned that the best journeys come from experiences that happen while I’m busy doing nothing…which is why we at Bon Voyage provide plenty of free time: for introspection, for napping, for yoga, for hanging out. And this missive will cover the finer points of hanging out – using Paris as an example.

Have an hour? Sit down. As of May 2008, there were about 7,000 cafés in Paris (sadly down from the 45,000 in the 1880’s). If you add bistros, restaurants and bakeries into the mix, you can barely walk 10 feet without finding a chair you can plop into. For the price of the cheapest thing on the menu, you have all the time in the world (and most of the time, free WI-FI) to hang out and let the world come to you. My recommendation? Get your nose out of the smartphone and watch the show: everything from the ridiculous to the sublime, the soon-to-be famous to the has-beens, the street musicians and the unlikely pair of lovers will be food for your eyes. If the place isn’t crowded, the waiters might make for a good story. You can say much about Parisians…but you can’t say they are boring.

Have three to four hours? Here are some options:

Go for a walk. Anywhere. Turn a corner. Walk into shops and say ‘Bonjour’ to the shopkeeper. Wander down streets and get lost. You can always call an Uber to get you back to where you started. You will find most small shops warm and welcoming places for you to wander. A cultural note here: try not to pick up and touch stuff unless you intend to buy it…this particularly applies to foodstuffs like fruit. I’ve seen grocers go red in the face because someone attempted to self-serve. It’s just not done.

Try a particular destination. NOT A MUSEUM. Try something that the locals would do, like heading out for a bit of destination shopping. For me, it’s the Hermés store. Yes, the place is outrageously expensive. And it is a feast for the senses. Three floors of over-the-top clothes, jewelry, accessories and furniture that will make you swoon. Ahem…it makes me swoon. I will admit to buying a scarf (or three) over the years at prices that would make the most resolute shopper cringe, but…what the heck! I feel like a million bucks every single time I wear my ‘foulard’ and remember the experience. Every. Single. Time. Totally worth it.

Go to Père Lachaise. Located in the 20th arrondissement, notable for being the first garden cemetery, as well as the first municipal cemetery in Paris. Depending on the time of year, you might encounter crowds, but don’t let that (or the groupies at Jim Morrison’s grave) deter you. Invest in a little guide book/map before you go (there are plenty for sale in the shops right outside) and then take yourself for a leisurely walk in the company of Isaac Newton, Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust, Chopin and countless others. The point is not to see it all; rather, to have a philosophical wander among your favorites in history. It’s a beautiful place that many miss because they can’t find the time. Bonus: You’ll deserve a hearty meal after your hike through the graves.

I could go on, but you get the gist: in order for you to really enjoy your voyage, you need to slow down enough to pay attention to your surroundings and the people (dead and alive) that envelop your being. Breathe deeply. Now, THAT’S culture. The rest is just stuff to look at.
