I found it out last time when i was too hungry while waiting my friend who supposingly to bring me food and picnic together, in the end, he was almost 2hr late. But as Rita said, better bring your own food.

Mariage Freres is too expensive as compare to its quality (personal view) and i certainly think they put a lot of money in marketing and product outlook design i prefer a chinese tea which taste the best and of reasonable price.

Be prepared though, they have about 200 different varieties to choose from, so you might stand in awe for a while deciding. And the tea comes perfectly brewed, so you can pour and enjoy when it comes. + a slice of pie = Divine!

A difference in cost didn't even occur to me, however I trust Rita knows what she's talking about. I was just in Paris last December, and I can't for the life of me remember.

Paris) that they charge you extra for drinking your beer or drink at a table vs. getting it to go? I heard this and didn't know they did this to me when i was there...but the logic (if true) is so dumb to me. Having one sit and drink means there more likely to buy more which means more money for the store. <br><br>Just wondering if this was fact or fiction. Isn't it true in France (esp.
