If I could take one thing from France back home with me (putting aside the delicious pastries), I think I would bring Sunday's lunch. From about 1pm to 4pm everyday Sunday is the time slot where French families enjoy a long and delicious meal together. This tradition is something I think everybody in North America could profit from. There's nothing nicer than enjoying time with family around the dinner table, laughing, catching up on the weeks events and savouring the scrumptious food. A great way to wind down the week, there's an over all feeling of calmness, peace and contentment. It's hard to describe, but if you mix those three words together and toss in a handful of other almost synonymous words, you'll get a pretty good idea of this wonderful feeling. It's the reason I always look forward to Sunday's, you get a calm morning, a long lunch with family and friends and a relaxing evening. Truly the best and one of the most memorable souvenir's I'll bring back to Canada.
