Crepes in Paris – A Delight!

Outside of the church, we experienced our first Paris crepe and it was magnificent. Having had and enjoyed Nutella before (a hazelnut/chocolate spread) I ordered a crepe with nutella and bananas. The fellow preparing them at the stand was a true artist, at one point even talking on the phone while making the crepes. A little secret that I learned is that a broken crepe can be repaired by aligning the edges and then pounding it a little as is what happened with mine. Another oddity we came across at the same stand was that Parisians offer popcorn with two options – sweet or salt. Kids often opt for the sweet, which is powdered with granular sugar. The crepe was heavenly and will definitely not be our last!
