Hi, I’m Paul and this is the first post for the Paris 2012 blog for VIU.

I should like to direct you for now to the About Page directly to the left <— where I outline a bit about myself plus a lot more about the reason and goal behind the blog. I’ll repeat here that this is a journal of our Baking Course’s class trip to Paris for the world famous 2012 Europain Exhibition, an event that happens every three years and draws to very top bakers and pastry makers from all around the world. We’re also scheduled to hop over to Brussels, Belgium to visit the Barry-Callebaut chocolate factory and the Puratos (bakery supplies) head office.

We will spend the better part of two weeks practically swimming in bread & pastry-related activities. I hope you find what I’ll post of interest, even if you aren’t necessarily a bread head yourself. I’ll try to include a bit of our off time as we visit the sights of Paris and attempt to transport you, as best as a few blog entries can, to this jewel of a city.

So for now, please hop over to that About page and we’ll see you when I post the first REAL entry from the other side of the puddle. Until then, a bientôt!

Your humble blogger,
Paul
