<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello all, My wife and I just returned from our winter getaway to Paris, and I must say, we had a great time, and I never got sick once! I took my celiac card in French from Against the Grain, and I never had a problem in the restaurants. I always got a smile from our server, and they were very helpful in finding things on the menu I could eat. The hardest part was having to skip the wonderful bakeries - they were incredibly tempting, but not worth getting sick. (I made up for it with plenty of wine and chocolate!) We also were able to find a health food store right around the corner from our hotel that carried gluten free bread, crackers, and cookies. That was incredibly convenient. I did bring some of my own food in to the country, but I discovered I really didn't need to use it. I was able to get adequate meals on the the flight there and back(US AIR), but as most airline food goods go, they weren't very tasty. It was a great trip, and most of all, it gives my wife and I confidence to vacation in other places - we don't always have to stay close to home! Thanks to all the list members for their help in planning our trip! Mike
