Is it really touristy? My vacations were usually spent working so I'm kinda bored with the massive amounts of free time. Maybe it doesn't matter if anywhere is touristy anymore. Nice to know your culinary adventures include baguettes though. Next you'll be daring and try a croissant.
The American reputation is proudly earned, thanks. Though I'm meant to be programmed to hate the English since I'm from Boston and my ancestors likely chucked all your tea in the river.
