So much so that it has, in fact, become something of a cultural clich\u00e9.

From time to time I struggle with a carnivorous<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> carte<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a pescatarian and acknowledge that things would be twice as hard if I didn\u2019t eat fish and cheese. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Despite the traditional make up being high in fat and animal products food in France is often bought directly from the specialised artisans and shops: Bread from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boulangerie, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meat and <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">charcuterie <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">boucherie <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and cheese from the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">fromagerie. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t even get me started on the difference in taste of the incredible seasonal fruit and vegetables, available cheaply from various markets. My favourites are the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">march\u00e9 d\u2019Aligre<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">march\u00e9 de Bastille<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-7351\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/open-market-paris4.jpg\" alt=\"Marche\u2019 d\u2019Aligre\" width=\"650\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/open-market-paris4.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/open-market-paris4-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All this means that the food has been refined very little when it arrives on your plate and whilst high in certain fats, it is generally much healthier in terms of additives and conserves than anything you\u2019d find in a supermarket which would likely be much more heavily processed. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because the food is rich, it\u2019s pretty hard to eat too much at any one sitting. Pure protein fills you up pretty fast, whereas with lighter processed food you could probably keep snacking without feeling full or satisfied. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This logic basically follows along the same lines as the Atkins diet, popular in the 90s. It is not famed for being healthy if not practiced with moderation, mixing in leafy greens fibre and fruit.

You\u2019ll be breaking culturally coded behaviour if you do not observe them during your visit, but concessions are made for tourists with \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">service continu\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">meaning the kitchen stays open outside of regular hours. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These restaurants will serve you lunch at 2.30pm when you finally make it out of the Louvre, or let a family with little ones eat their dinner at 5pm sharp. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the rest of Âé¶¹APP, breakfast takes place at the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">comptoir<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brasserie <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">around the corner from your office between 8 and 9.15. Lunch is often referred to as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cla pause midi\u201d, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">but I\u2019ve never seen anyone sitting down to tuck at 12 sharp. I think of it more like the time that workers take note to finish off those last few tasks, grab their coat, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tickets-restaurant<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (meal coupons provided by employers) and head out the door to their lunch spot. <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go\u00fbter, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a sweet afternoon snack accompanied by a hot drink, is the reserve of children, parents and freelancers or those on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">t\u00e9l\u00e9travail<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, (working from home). My favourite mealtime tradition <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ap\u00e9ro, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a glass of wine with a few olives or nuts to pick at, is at seven or half past, sitting down to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">d\u00eener <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">at eight. <\/span><\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Why do mealtimes matter?<\/span><\/h5>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Various scientific studies have shown that our bodies respond well to routine and discipline. If mealtimes just sort of \u2018happen\u2019, with a lot of grazing and snacking thrown in to boot, we\u2019re much more likely to go overboard and end up unconsciously eating more than we should. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number four : quality over quantity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2852\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/macarons2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"650\" height=\"320\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/macarons2.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/05\/macarons2-300x147.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This follows along the same lines. I\u2019ve noticed that many of my French girlfriends would rather skip a meal (usually lunch) if there is nothing on offer that takes their fancy. \u00a0This tends to happen when we\u2019re not in a spot that they\u2019ve chosen. Examples I can think off the cuff tend to be road <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/how-to-get-to-normandie-beaches-from-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trips to Normandy<\/a> and regions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/things-to-do-outside-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outside Âé¶¹APP .<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Faced with the choice between a sad sandwich, judged not up to standard, and bypassing it all together for a caf\u00e9 <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">ou chocolat chaud, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one of the later will usually win out. I think the jury\u2019s out on whether skipping meals will result in weight loss and whether it\u2019s especially healthy or not, but there are my observations. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number five : <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">le coupe faim<\/span><\/i><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis5-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13454\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis5-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"785\" height=\"503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis5-1.png 785w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis5-1-300x192.png 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis5-1-768x492.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 785px) 100vw, 785px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/g7CAHl8kc24?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rub\u00e9n Bag\u00fc\u00e9s<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/cut?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Le coupe faim<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, which literally \u2018cuts your hunger\u2019, a better translation perhaps being \u2018appetite suppressant\u2019, certainly plays its part in the way French women eat to stay slim. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After all, how much you eat is very likely dependant on your appetite. Why women in Âé¶¹APP would have a smaller appetite than women elsewhere in France can be difficult to understand, until you start consider daily Âé¶¹APPian lifestyle. A lot of Âé¶¹APPian life takes place outside, due to small apartment sizes. Thanks to the (relatively) reasonable prices in <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">brasseries parisiennes <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(roughly 1\u20ac for a short coffee or 3\u20ac glass of wine), men and women pull up a one of the famous rattan chairs and settle down <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">en terrasse <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">to enjoy a drink accompanied by a book, cigarette or a little people watching.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Perhaps this act of slowing down, taking one\u2019s time and indulging in a small vice which isn\u2019t food based, actually leads to less consumption later on, once <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00e0 table<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number six : Âé¶¹APP is a stressful city<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13456\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"867\" height=\"579\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6.png 867w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6-768x513.png 768w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis6-816x545.png 816w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 867px) 100vw, 867px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/VnGac-kUflg?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gabriel Matula<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/stress?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the last 18 months of eavesdropping on Âé¶¹APPienne colleagues unpacking their days together in the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">m\u00e9tro <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or over lunch, I have overheard the phrase burn-out, pronounced <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cb\u2019huuurn o\u00f9\u00f9\u00f9t\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">many times. Stress, specifically stress at work, is so commonplace that it has become the norm. Reaching fever point, only then does it get discussed, leading to a recent epidemic of the previously mentioned phrase. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Living in the capital presents its joys and challenges. There is definitely a buzz and bustle, which many Âé¶¹APPians and visitors adore. The beauty of the city is world-renowned. The cultural offer and commercial dynamism is unmatched elsewhere in France. Yet on the flipside, competition for jobs is fierce, rent and council tax (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">taxe d\u2019habitation)<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> are notoriously high, divorce rates are also rumoured to be higher in the capital. So all in all there is plenty to loose your appetite over within city living. Stress burns calories. <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number seven: other people\u2019s standards<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis7.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis7.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"673\" height=\"379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis7.png 673w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis7-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 673px) 100vw, 673px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/1GBu5N2Kd5w?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Alev Takil<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/judging?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here\u2019s one I\u2019m going to be a little careful on and preface by emphasising that these are simply my experiences. Everyone will perceive and have slightly different ones. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A few years ago I went for a routine check up with a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">g\u00e9n\u00e9raliste<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, a general practitioner or doctor. Alongside other routine checks he asked me to step on the scales. 60 kilos, \u201clet\u2019s call it 59\u201d, he said with a complicit paternalist air and a kind wink. At the time, I don\u2019t remember feeling offended. This 60 something, slightly bourgeois Frenchman harked from a generation where the Âé¶¹APPian women in his cabinet only topped 60 kilos stepping on <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">la balance<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> if they were fat, or pregnant with twins.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s worth a mention that at 173cm tall I was in the bottom quarter of a healthy BMI, and had <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">monsieur<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> shaved another four kilos off, I would have been clinically underweight. Perhaps he saw that as the norm having practiced medicine in the 80\u2019s when 8.5% of the French female population was underweight, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insee.fr\/fr\/statistiques\/1280848\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">potentially more in Âé¶¹APP<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And if you think it\u2019s just me getting this feedback, that\u2019s wishful thinking. My local lady friends are on the receiving end of much the same. Walking down <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">la<\/span><\/i> <i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ru\u00e9 Saint Honor\u00e9<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> chatting away, a hilariously bright ex-lawyer told me the story of trying to shop in one of the high-end boutiques there. Pretty women style the sales attendants were actively mean to her and told her that their clothes were meant for someone less <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">corpulente. \u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">One would hope that this pressure on Âé¶¹APPian women to stay incredibly slim would have become as outdated as the generation who upheld these standards. Sadly a close girlfriend\u2019s very recent experiences on Âé¶¹APP Tinder prove this not to be the case. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On an evening out with her date, (a guy who she\u2019d been seeing for just shy of two months), her beau took it upon himself to announce towards the end of their elegant dinner, that the real reason he couldn\u2019t commit to her was that he was attracted to <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cles filles plut\u00f4t fines,\u201d <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">rather slimmer women. Shock at his lack of manners was replaced by outrage and surreal humour as he then went on to comfort her for the comment that he had just made. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems unfathomable that anyone would lack the social grace to understand that this is never something to be uttered on a date. To put it in context this friend of mine is above averagely pretty, she is also educated to PHD level and happily has the intellectual discrimination, as well as confidence required not to rise to shocking personal criticism of her healthy weight. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Luckily this attitude is on the wane. A quintessential parisienne ad exec told me that in her advanced amateur dance troupe many of the younger women in their early twenties were far from thin, but didn\u2019t seem to care and were really comfortable with their bodies and movement. Hurrah! Youpi! <\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number eight : <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La r\u00e9volution sportive<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is happening in Âé¶¹APP<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13467\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/colour-run-paris.jpeg\" alt=\"The color run in Âé¶¹APP\" width=\"670\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/colour-run-paris.jpeg 670w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/colour-run-paris-300x179.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 670px) 100vw, 670px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Over the last ten years, the arrival of plenty of low cost gyms, as well the growing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-yoga-classes-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">popularity of yoga<\/a> have changed attitudes to sport in the capital. Now over half the Âé¶¹APPian women I know have a dance or yoga class, boxing has taken off too. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst running lacked popularity a few years back when I first arrived in Âé¶¹APP, now there are groups dedicated to neighborhood runs sponsored by Nike or Adidas. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are even several competitive courses over the year than friends and colleagues sign up for together, my favourites being, The Colour run, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">La Âé¶¹APPienne (<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">aptly named for this article) and the Nike 10K. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you fancy a<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> footing<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, the French expression for going for a jog, while in town, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/tour\/versailles-walking-tours\/versailles-by-bike-day-tour\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">even a cycle through the manicured <\/a><\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Âé¶¹APP <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gardens \u2013 go ahead, I can promise you won\u2019t be disappointed.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Number nine : French women are probably lucky!<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis9.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-13458\" src=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis9.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"710\" height=\"474\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis9.png 710w, https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/slimparis9-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Photo by\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/PPEoJOw2ySE?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fancycrave<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0on\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/search\/photos\/appetite-suppresant?utm_source=unsplash&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_content=creditCopyText\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Unsplash<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, nobody\u2019s going to appreciate me saying this because it just boils down to the unfair fact that it\u2019s you and your luck. Certain female friends and acquaintances have a naturally very slim build. They don\u2019t seem to do anything special, certainly no strict diets or sport regimes. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I think I hear stories about recipes, or even surprisingly random pastimes such as <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jeux de roles <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(a fantasy role-play game), more often than anyone mentions their gym membership to me. A sultry, svelte parisienne party girl joined me for \u201cCardio Ballet barre\u201d led by one of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.discoverwalks.com\/blog\/best-yoga-classes-in-paris\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my favourite dance and yoga teachers<\/a>, Meghan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Due to her enviable figure, I had always sort of assumed that she must do something to keep in shape. A full 35 minutes into the class, following the warm up and cardio my slender <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">non sportive <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">pal<\/span> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">started struggling to catch her breath and telling me she felt really out of sorts. This resulted in a <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">minor malaise<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and the very sweet reception staff at <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">studios bleus <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">scurrying over with glasses of water.
