We\u2019ve picked fabulous regional dishes that follow the peloton across the country. Some require real stamina, but we\u2019ve also included a few quick bites to keep you going. And of course, we\u2019ve remembered the high-speed sugar hits in the form of classic desserts.

Though they were originally introduced from Italy by Catherine de\u2019 Medici in the 16th century, it was in Paris that they found their iconic form. Today, they\u2019re as essential to the capital as the Eiffel Tower, just a bit tastier.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick note for those who come to us for advice on food
