c'est si bon teen-chefs in paris and provence
summer of 2010, the twelve days of france!
 
in the belly of paris and then the heart of roman provence, arles.

begin in paris, the city of light, with an edible exploration of the modern and historic culinary worlds collide.
 
four days of visits chosen by c’est si bon! from the following menu of possibilities: reknowned boulangerie and patisseries (poilane, moulin ala vierge, eric kayser, lenotre) legendary rue de mouffetard, marché raspail, fromage at androuët, cooking classes at ritz escoffier or cordon bleu, angelina’s salon de the (infamous chocolate and mont blanc) shopping at delherrin near emile zola’s the belly of paris, and early morning at rungis market and bien sur, crepes, wherever and whenever we find them! 
 
paris accommodations at hotel de la paix in the montparnasse arrondissement.
 
then train to provence for our remaining time and a mezmerizing melange of visits: honey, chocolate, chevre - open air markets infused with north african specialites, exotic seafood and never ending lavender aubergines and gitane music.
 
arles accomodations at erick vedel's eclectic and COMPLETELY provencale school of cuisine (association cuisine et tradition - ACT) in the heart of provence, in the crook of the rhone river. a mix of chic moderne - plumbing, hot water - surrounded by 10th century walls and beamed ceilings from the renaissance. steps from the ancient roman arena just off place voltaire.
