Weekend in Paris #5
Champagne problems, an Indonesian feast, and entering my gilded age.
Weekend in Paris is a bonus series for paid subscribers—it’s one part recap of my off-duty fun as a baking school student, one part dishing about (temporary) expat life. Bienvenue!
My weekend started in the chilly darkness at 6:45 on Friday morning, when all three of Ferrandi Paris’s international programs boarded a coach bus bound for the countryside. As a balm for the early-morning start, we got to experience a French highway rest stop on the way out of town—and I can assure you that it was far classier than its American cousins. (No surprise there!)
The three-day weekend means this letter is particularly packed with fun. Today, you’ll read about:
🍾 Our champagne-fueled road trip,
🎼 My opulent morning at the opera, and
🤤 A little slice of babka heaven!
