Considering the Best Western Opera Grands Boulevards in Paris?

PICARD Frozen Gourmet Food by thinking
If you are staying in a furnished apartment or one of the increasingly popular apartment-hotels in the city (which provide fully-equipped kitchens), you can buy and prepare your own food. If you want to do this quickly, be advised that France is a leader in top-quality frozen meals. The largest chain seems to be Picard, with multiple locations in Paris, all of which feature long rows of freezers with zillions of ready-made meals that you can just pop into a microwave (usually); the quality of the food is amazingly high, compared to what you might normally expect in the U.S. for this type of food. Many supermarket chains also offer microwavable dinners that you need only keep refrigerated; here again, quality is astonishingly high?many of these little meals are delicious!
Pichards as well as others also offers ice creams and all kinds of frozen cakes.
Just unthaw the cakes or pies and it is ready to eat!
