I am a story-teller by nature and that’s one of the reasons why I love doing the Flavors of Paris food tours. I get to share stories during the tours about two of my passions, Paris and food. "Off the Eaten Path" provides another opportunity to share even more stories on these topics with you. The culture of Paris and its food scene is such a vast and ever-changing subject, that it is a never-ending story. I have so much to share with you, I wish there were more hours in the day for me to get it all out there! ~ Lisa
