Over several years living here, I must have camped at over 100 different locations in Oman!

Enjoy some “tres jolie” days walking around the Parisian streets and boost up your energy level 🔋 with some coffee just after/before a “little” shopping spree. This list includes many of the city’s cafes (Paris is now a specialty coffee - and pastry - capital) and all the good spots to shop something that will surely indulge all of your needs/senses (main focus on French brands). 💡Be sure to check the vintage selling gems spreaded all over Paris!!! 💰 By the way, massive sales happen twice a year in France: in July and January. Called “les soldes” in French, the sales normally last around four weeks and the discounts increase as the weeks pass. Even if you don’t catch the sales, designer shops give you the opportunity of buying small accesories (keychains for example), leather goods (belts, gloves, card holders, passport covers, etc) or scarves/caps/ties - even umbrellas, which make for exceptional souvenirs. Perhaps you can even get the chance of seeing the “art of making” a product in the workshop/workroom of the artisans. Plus, visiting the shopping venues could turn into an amazing experience as many of them are soooo Instagrammable! Highlights: 🥐 Croissant - is a buttery, flaky, viennoiserie pastry inspired by the shape of the Austrian kipferl but using the French yeast-leavened laminated dough. Croissants are named for their historical crescent shape. The modern croissant seems to have been created by the French chef Sylvain Claudius Goy. 🥖 Baguette - is a long, thin type of bread of French origin that is commonly made from basic lean dough (the dough, though not the shape, is defined by French law). It is distinguishable by its length and crisp crust. 🧀 Fromage de France - there are more than 1,000 kinds of cheese in France! Being in Paris is being in the Ville des Fromages, the City of Cheese. Some of the most known: Camembert, Brie de Meaux, Roquefort, Reblochon, Munster, Pont l'Évêque, Époisses de Bourgogne, Comté. Tip: go for a “cheese and wine” tasting. 🐌 Escargot - any of several species of edible land snails, a delicacy of French cuisine. Although the snails eaten as escargots are terrestrial, they are technically mollusks and therefore classified as seafood. 🍷 French wine - France is one of the largest wine producers in the world. Red wines from grape varieties like Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel. Rosé wines like the Provençal rosé and the sweet White Zinfandels. White wines like a Chardonnay, Riesling, Sauvignon Blanc, or a Moscato. Sparkling wines from Champagne and Vouvray.

So, the town of Alba is a perfect size for strolling the streets and finding little bars to pop into for a taste of some of the great local wines from the Langhe region. I have found not all wineries are open to the public and are sometimes way off the beaten track so if you looking to stay central and not have to worry about how is driving and how is drinking then Alba is a great place to do a little wine tasting self-guided style. You never know you might even meet a few wine makers in the process they love to hang out in Alba for all the same reasons you wanna visit like the food is great.

While living in Orvieto, Italy, I had many months to explore all of the different (& very tasty) restaurants, cafes, and bars in town. For a town that is only a mile long, there is a lot packed in -- and mostly for a very affordable price. Not all of these are open year-round; if traveling between Christmas and the end of February, expect some closures or shortened hours. Italians usually have a quick & very light breakfast -- some espresso and maybe a pastry. Don't expect a full American breakfast anywhere you travel in Italy! Lunch is usually one course, typically very quick like pizza or small plate pasta. Aperitivo is Italy's happy hour, but much cooler. Usually, with the purchase of a drink the snacks come free (and flowing!). Traditional Italian dinner is at least 3 courses, though at some restaurants you are not expected to order that many. Depending on how nice the restaurant is though, you may be expected to order 2. Because Orvieto is smaller (& because you don't tip in Italy) a two-course dinner is typical and budget-friendly. And remember -- it is inappropriate to leave food leftover on your plate. Another important note about Italian cafe/restaurant culture is that a lot of the spots on this list are interchangeable. In Italy, it is typical/expected that a cafe is open for coffee & pastries at breakfast time, transition to a lunch after noon with quick plates, aperitivo in the afternoon, and a bar after dinner. For restaurants, they typically open around noon for lunch (if they even open for lunch), then resume around dinnertime. Rule of thumb is that anywhere that starts serving dinner before 7/7:30 isn't authentic & is a tourist trap.
