Paris food festival a great excuse to visit

Renowned the world over as being a culinary capital, Paris is to host a world food fair at the end of October.

Cuisinez! Expo at the Paris Carrousel de Louvre regularly sees up to 12,000 visitors for the two-day event which runs from the 24th to the 26th of the month.

The opportunity to try some of France's best food, ranging from speciality cheese to more refined fair, will be too much for some, so those on a diet may wish to reconsider!

Additionally it is a great opportunity to pick up some cooking tips, with many French restaurants demonstrating how their kitchens work and some of the food that they create.

Children and first timers are also encouraged to visit, so those hoping to find the next Gordon Ramsey or Nigella Lawson in the family may wish to take the kids.
