Another postcard from Paris, France

Our second postcard comes from Paris and yet again has a food theme. Jordan’s postcard suggested eating a Baguette ‘en plein air’ this one has a restaurant recommendation. The postcard is an official one from Cafe du Flore but recommends a bistro called Chez Fernand. I have Googled Chez Fernand and this is the link which I have been told is correct.

The postcard…

The tip comes from Jon, Jan, Jem ? JIM! The tip:

Eat at Chez Fernand, a great French Bistro. Try the strawberry soup, its mental. PS – Its packed!

Strawberry Soup? I’ve heard of Pesto Ice Cream but this is a new one on me, must try it. Thanks!

A postcard from Belfort, France

Now this postcard comes from Belfort in France. I had to look it up. Wikipedia says,

Belfort (German: Beffert) is a town and commune of north-eastern France, préfecture (capital) of the Territoire de Belfort département in the Franche-Comté région. Population (1999): 50,417. Approximately 60,000 including suburbs.

It is located on the Savoureuse, on the strategically important natural route between the Rhine and the Rhône – the Belfort Gap (Trouée de Belfort) or Burgundian Gate (Porte de Bourgogne).

So we’ve cleared that up. Now this postcard comes from Christian who runs his own postcard site – who knew! You know it is interesting. When I came up with this idea I thought no-one else was doing it. Well, they are, but slightly different. Christian’s site http://www.canyousendmeapostcard.com/ aims to collect as many postcards as possible and he scans both sides on. Cool.

Christian doesn’t offer a tip as such, except to visit his site. Fair enough. Thanks Christian!

A postcard from Paris, France

Paris, possibly my favourite city in the world, after Edinburgh. We have this cool postcard send from Jordan.

This is a cool postcard, its the type of postcard you often found in Student poster shops, you know, where you can buy posters of giant reefers and stuff. I like it though

So, Jordan’s tip:

Buy some fresh bread and pastries and eat a picnic on the green under the Eiffel Tower

Hmm, that sounds nice – especially if the sun is shining! We seem to be getting a few food related tips recently, is this a trend? It makes me hungry reading them! Thanks Jordan.
