It's a bit strange that the only food that I know to be French is baguette which is just a bread.

Their pastries and cooking methods as s general rule are great. Not sure if they found the one bad chef in France or what.

I've visited Paris once and all the food I had was mediocre at best. The restaurants I've visited don't know how to cook a steak, it was always overcooked. We went to one fancy place that was okay but all the normal food was really disappointing. The bakeries were good though.

Paris is shit. Everything about it is shit. It even smells like shit.

Go to some little town or large village in the middle of nowhere and you'll find really incredible boulangeries and fromageries. The people still kinda suck, but that's just France.
