McDo


France has a great culinary heritage.  So long as you are not picky, your visit here will be full of tasty treats and satisfying meals.  Suffice is to say the food here tastes good.

So why is McDonald’s packed?

The restaurant does not represent the best of what American food has to offer.  While it is a marvel of production and efficiency, it is not high on quality.  For a country concerned with the quality of food, this type of restaurant would surely make an instant failure.

But McDonald’s is packed in Paris.  All the time.

Until recently, it was difficult to fathom.  Was it the cheap price in a sea of expensive options?  Was it the quantity of tourists in Paris?

No.  It just tastes better here.

So it seems that even with the marketing and familiarity, even McDonald’s has picked up a small piece of French culture.

Now what would Paris do for Taco Bell?
