PARIS, FRANCE: Travel day and THE BEST hot chocolate in Paris?! Angelina vs Deux Magots | Ep. 26
It’s a travel day….bright side...we’re headed to Paris! Oui!
After hitting the Centurion Lounge in Dallas and a 9 hour flight we arrive in the 7th Arrondissement. We earned a long, hard nap and then headed out for our first dinner in the city of lights...Souffle!
Now, the real work begins. Who has the best chocolat chaud in Paris? Tough call, we tried Le Deux Magots, Angelina and Fragments. You’ll have to decide for yourself, we simply can’t be asked to choose. We love them all.

Paris to Milan by TGV train from €29 - video guide
Tickets from Paris to Milan or Turin start at just €29 - for information or to buy tickets online see
A beginner's guide to travel from Paris to Turin or Milan by high-speed TGV train, showing the train interior & exterior, the scenery and the food on board. Three daily French TGVs link Paris Gare de Lyon with Turin and Milan, from €29 one-way booked direct with French Railways.
The video shows the 14:41 from Paris arriving Turin 20:13, Milan Porta Garibaldi at 21:50, with an easy connection from London St Pancras by Eurostar.
The video was taken in June, and there was still snow on the highest peaks - the weather wasn't great on this occasion, overcast with brooding clouds, the route looks far better in proper summer sun or winter snow!
Fans of BBC Top Gear may recognise a shot or two in this video - I supplied a few clips to the Beeb for their Wembley to Milan TGV-versus-Mustang 'race' first shown in February 2013.
Survival Tips for Driving in France – Part Two
Number 1. If you import your right-hand drive car, it can be complicated as your vehicle will need to conform to French manufacture and use regulations. If it is a model or make not on sale in France, things could become a real hassle. And if you stay in France for more than a month, you will have to change to a French registration (in theory at least).
Number 2. If your car is getting on in years, you will have to think about taking it along for an M.O.T (le contrôle technique), at an officially-approved centre. After this, it is every two years.
Number 3. Most French motorways are toll paying. On short stretches the amount can be a flat rate (or even free) but it usually depends on the distance you drive. Don't lose your ticket or you will be required to pay the maximum toll.
Number 4. French motorway signs are blue, and usually indicate the destination more frequently than the motorway number. So, if you are driving from Lyon to Chambéry, you are likely to see more 'Chambéry' signs than 'A43'.
Number 5. Many French motorways are two-lane only, or have long two-way stretches. Be careful, as there can be sudden traffic slow-downs due to trucks taking ages to inch past each other.
Number 6. Be careful on French motorways as many drivers lack road discipline. It is the usual tricks: in spite of the 130 kilometers per hour limit, apparently 39% of them drive at speeds between 130 and 150 kilometers per hour.
Number 7. I know it sounds obvious, but the French do drive on the right. You will soon get used to it, but you will have to concentrate in the beginning.
Number 8. Electronic speed camera detectors are illegal in France. Simply having one in your car could render you liable to a fine.
Number 9. Driving your right-hand car in France can be a bit tricky when it comes to overtaking as you have to pull out more to see any oncoming traffic.
Number 10. Maximum speed limits are clearly displayed on all roads in France. At present there are rumours about lowering them all by 10 kilometers per hour.
Number 11. Be careful of roadside and police in-vehicle speed cameras - especially in villages where the limit is 50 kilometers per hour. You can easily get caught out.
Number 12. When approaching an unmarked road junction, the rule is to give way to all traffic approaching you from the right - even if the road is minor.
