I was in
Copenhagen with the rest of my French class last Wednesday. We were put in a
group and then we got some different tasks we had to solve. My group and I had
been asked to visit La Glace and the French Institute. We started at La Glace.
I personally have never been to La Glace before, as there is always crowded
with people. As soon as I entered the door, I was overwhelmed by the story of
the 143 years old patisserie. Most of the beautiful patisserie still bloomed
with the amazing old decorating. I could easily imagine the time they sat in
big beautiful dresses and ate cake and drank coffee in the afternoon, chatting
about the latest gossip. We asked one of the employees a few questions and then
we had been allowed to buy some of the delicious pastry. I got two French
macaroons, one with chocolate and one with lemon. I don’t normally enjoy cakes
or pastry with lemon, but this was amazing. I can’t even describe with words,
how good they were. It was like a bomb of lemon and chocolate exploding in my
mouth. They were a bit expensive, but after I had the first bite, I didn’t
regret spending a bit more money on them.
The French
Institute wasn’t that exciting. So, I’m just going to skip that. We met the
other groups and walked to La Petanque, which was a small restaurant where we
would eat our lunch. As I walked down the small flight of stairs and opened the
door, it felt like I suddenly stood inside a small restaurant in France. Behind
the bar was a lot of spices and other exciting things. I just wanted to look at
each individual can, bottle and small tub there were. It properly sounds a bit
strange to you, but I guess I’m bit strange. We had to order on French and too
be honest, I was a bit scared to mess up or say something stupid, but I didn’t
and it went quite okay. The food was okay, not really a big deal. I ordered a
pancake with egg, spinach and bacon. I think I got my hopes to high on this.
But hey, I just went to La Glace, so of course I expected something unique.
Overall, it
was a really good day and I learned a bit of French, which was the main goal of
the whole trip.
