Paris, compared to London, was a little bit slow catching on to the gluten-free food trend. It comes as no surprise, considering that Paris is the gastronomic capital of the world. The French excel in the art of eating and revel with every delicious mouthful of food. The idea of not eating certain things, especially something as delectable as a French pastry, is almost unfathomable to most French people.

However, with the ever-growing number of people deciding to forego gluten, Paris had a choice to make…and so did I. After months of feeling bloated and sick, I finally decided to explore my options. My curiosity and desire to have a healthier diet inspired me to actively seek out Paris’ hot spots that offer food and products without gluten.

The change in how I feel since deciding to forego these grains (wheat, rye, baRley and oats) has been amazing. I no longer get a stomach ache nor feel bloated and I have so much more energy than before! Best of all, giving up gluten doesn’t mean giving up great taste.

So if you feel like a change, why not check out these healthy, cool choices? Over the next few weeks INSPIRELLE will be covering each of these Parisian gluten-free places in more detail, so keep your eyes peeled!
