00:00As Paris gets ready to host the Olympic Games and with it, millions of visitors from all
00:07over the world, French restaurants are looking forward serving up some of their famous cuisine.
00:13At L'Escargot Montroué on Monday, a restaurant located in the first district of the French
00:18capital, a few blocks from La Seine, customers enjoyed snails and frog's legs.
00:25For Shola Olaoluwa, a tourist from Washington, D.C., it was a first.
00:30If you're in Paris, why not, you know, where else, I mean, wherever you're coming from,
00:36I mean, I came from the States, so if I tried this in the States, I know it's not going
00:42to be the same as it is here, so if you're in Paris, why not try their local food and
00:47their local cuisine?
00:48Definitely, definitely get it, I highly recommend it too.
00:53Chef Cecilia Miller admitted there are less customers than last year at the same period,
00:58but remains confident that there will be an excess of work once the Games get underway.
01:04Paris begins its Olympics extravaganza with an unprecedented opening ceremony on the River
01:09Seine on July 26.
01:12The show will be attended by over 100 heads of state and government, and over 300,000
01:17spectators will watch from the river's banks, organizers said, adding that there will be
01:22some 80 giant screens along the way.
