Le Village International de la Gastronomie - Tour Eiffel

 

Yesterday I went to Le Village International de la Gastronomie at  Eiffel Tower, 

Just for a lark…

No larks 

To be seen,

But everything else under the sun 🌞 

 Entry tickets 🎟️ are 5€

To eat

And drink.

 SANGRIA!

Fresh coconut 🥥 water. Yum

My favorite coconut 🥥 ice cream from Senegal.

From 55 countries, some I barely heard of.

There was a similar mini international gastronomie village at Bastille during Xmas. I went with Julia, who is in Tahiti at the moment. 

Julia, you missed the Tahiti tent!

A fancy chef hunkering down on his break, looking for new flavors peut-être ?

There was of course music with drums 🪘 an essential.

Fabulous regional costumes.

Eating tables down the center aisle for instant picnics 🧺 

Divine Persian jam - mirabelle plums with saffron from Maison Boteh.

What is a LAOS Hot dog 🌭 ? Have you tried?

Bottarga is a codfish roe delicacy I once had to bring back to someone…I still haven’t tried it.

Madagascar vanilla chocolate 🍫 tasting 👍

I have been looking for these crunchy, thin mystery Italian crackers for YEARS, but you could only buy olive 🫒 oil 🤷🏻‍♀️

A fun relaxing visit if you’re in Paris this weekend.

I found my fav roasted corn by the bridge to the Eiffel Tower 🤸‍♂️
