The fi rst production of a Croissant dates back to

1683.

Marie Antoinette (Aus-trian Princess who married Louis XVI), introduced the

croissant to the French Aris-tocrats.

It was only at the start of this century that the butter puff croissant was created,

and became the French national product in 1920.

DID YOU KNOW? The key to food is to stay away from the beaten tracks and the obviously expensive Champs Elysees. Around the lesser visited quarters , there are many cheap and yummy res-taurants to be found. The best and cheapest way to get around Paris is on foot, and secondly, using the Metro which is around one euro fi fty for a one way trip of any length. In the artsy quarters of Paris there are many bargains to be had once again, if you are prepared to look. Souvenirs are easily found and can be really inexpensive as long as you don’t buy from the tourist sites. Just remem-ber to keep your eyes open and have fun!

Paris can be cheap you know!
