Foodies and Food Bloggers! Celebrate the arrival of Spring the gastronomic way. Make sure to catch this amazing gourmet Parisian food fair, Salon Saveur, where you’ll happily meander through a maze of hundreds of stalls presenting yummy products big and small. Meet food experts from France, Spain and Italy showing off their best stuff particularly their interpretation of the art of cuisine. Sample regional delicacies, wines and champagnes, and shop for fun food gifts. Tastings are free so be certain to pace yourself (start out early!) if you tend to overdo it. There is a lot to see (about 350 exhibitors) and it will get crowded with an estimated attendance of about 32,000 visitors, so if you’d like to avoid a massive crowd, try to arrive as early as possible. Also to note: 3 restaurants are open during the fair: an Italian restaurant, an oyster bar and a Basque restaurant.

This is a twice-a-year event held in May and later in December.
