Benjamin Franklin once said, "Each person has two countries, his own and France."
What did he mean by that?
Perhaps he meant, "each person has two loves: his wife, and his girlfriends in France!" Oui, Oui! Playboy Benji!
Prêt à Manger aka Pret a Manger receives a perfect score almost by default. I mean where else can you get affordable, delicious pastries, sandwiches, organic coffees, and fresh juices at airport locations? I realize not all locations are equal. I get that. For instance, the Prêt à Manger at London Heathrow is far superior to any location I've visited, however going back to what makes it 5-stars in my book goes back to price, service, quality.
Prêt à Manger at Aéroport de Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle in France is a smaller location. It still offers the mandatory croissants, sandwiches, coffees, and cold pressed juices for your flight. On my visit I decided on a fresh peach juice (sounds yum eh?), organic coffee, and a chocolat croissant. The cashier spoke fluent French and very good English. She was friendly, efficient, with a nice smile;)
I grabbed a seat and enjoyed my mini breakfast before my flight from Paris to Barcelona. The chocolat croissant fresh as always, the organic coffee on point. Just sadly... I somehow forgot my peach juice at the table - unopened too:( I was so looking forward to drinking that pêche juice as I flew over the Andorra mountains. Oh well *sighs*
In the end, I highly recommend stopping by any Prêt à Manger aka Pret a Manger location. Some are bigger and better than others, yet all offer comfort bites and quality drinks at affordable prices! Just don't forget your juice! I hope Benjamin Franklin's French girlfriend drank it! read more
