You do know the Czech Museum is in Cedar Rapids?  Yes more than 100miles for you but lots of Czechs and Czech goodies,  which in all candor,  most Czech food specialties aren't all that great. I blame the varied ruthless rulers of Czechoslovakia over time.  Washed out a lot of culture.
I live 35-40 mins west of there. The original museum was destoyed in the 2008 flood. I haven't been to either.

While I don't live in a Czech town, there's a couple major "Bohemie" communities close enough to influence the desserts in every public / church function in the area.

Being a Swede, I find kolaches a bit lacking in sweetness. Give some Swedish tea ring or a nice big danish.

As I conceded most Czech food stinks.  People seem to like kolaches,  I don't care for them.  There are some good stews and other dishes but German versions are superior.  Czechs do make fine pilsner and drink more beer than any country .   I just walk the earth with the four consecutive consonant surname that 1 in 100 pronounce correctly.

France is gloomy, with weird showers designed by some douche.

The wife liked that our sheets at the Hilton Opera had been ironed though.

My brother's wife's family is from Racine, Wisconsin. We always get O&H danish kringles from them at Christmastime. We brought ours to my in-laws and ate the whole thing in one sitting.

Actually, my FIL did. They'd never heard of kringle before. They do now.

My wife has me smuggle back about 15 kringles from O&H for her partners.  Saves about 50% compared to ordering.   I recall delivering one to the staff in her group and they annihilated it wo delay.    Pecan and almond are my faves.

I love trips to Paris.  But winter is not a great time to be there.

My first extended work trip to France had me spending 4 months there, from February into June.  The first couple months were no fun as far as weather, but the second couple months really made up for it.

well, I've never been to France, perhaps I'd enjoy it.

I'm doubtful, but I'm wrong more often than right

Kringles are becoming far-reaching. We are able to get them fresh in one of our local grocery stores now.

We are staying now in a tiny village well outside Paris taking care of the grandkids.

This is a one pub village.
