I like snails in garlic butter...similar to small mushrooms prepared similarly. Nice scenery,...but Paris smelled bad when I visited...the waiters were rude and all the beautiful women I expected to see (like in the old movies) were not in sight...only a bunch of smelly, hairy women that were either grossly overweight or emaciated. On the other hand...they made my wife look very hot!!! I have not lived in Europe for a while, but when I did...I was suprised at how meager most of their lifestyles were.....but you are right....lots of time off...same in Germany..
