@KlaudiyaG Thanks for taking time to comment on my post. Yeah it was my first time in Bayonne but am still not done with the tour yet, I will return soon for a full documentary on some ancient architecture and the chocolate production which has been in existence for about 500 years …

It’s truly an amazing city

You just piqued my interest @2serious . I can’t wait to find out what are these ancient building that you are about to explore. The architecture in France is absolutely fantastic, so I’m sure that it’s going to be an amazing experience.

By the way, because of your post, I just learned that Bayonne is the Chocolate Capital of France. How great is that! I just added Bayonne on my bucket list. :slight_smile:

@KlaudiyaG there are a lot of things yet to be discovered. If it’s about chocolate, I think they can get you a lifetime supply and still have enough…

My country of origin is one of the top producers of cocoa, that is Ghana. But I wasn’t a great chocolate fan back then until I got to France. Everything here in France has a touch of chocolate, from desserts, toffees, chocolatine, etc almost everything. You can’t hide from chocolate here you know dat…I am a great fan of chocolate now…

What about you? @KlaudiyaG

You probably won’t believe this, @2serious , but I am a huge chocolate fan. One of my close friends told me a while back that my super power is to make chocolate disappear. :slight_smile: That’s why I could not believe that I wasn’t aware of Bayonne being the Chocolate Capital of France, but the great thing about life is that you learn something new everyday, especially on Connect.

Hahaha… I’ve heard that before, yes. :slight_smile: It’s a surprise that I’m not 10000 kilograms. The thing that I’ve noticed recently is that people who aren’t big fans of chocolate, like myself, prefer spicy dishes. Can you relate? Do you, @2serious , fancy more bitter and spicy foods in comparison to sweets and chocolate?

@KlaudiyaG Frankly speaking I prefer spicy after realizing the havoc too much sugary food can cause to a man. For you the girls, it’s not a problem but for man, hmm it is. Imagine waking up early morning to start your car engine for work and it doesn’t respond, hope you understand the parable.
