I love this post. It balances the three-legged stool of father, France, and food so well, transparently. I can see the problem you're getting at. Evaluating parents is always so tricky: they are both our baseline normal and always "exceptional," as you say.
Also, I wish I had some of that grainy bread, which looks delicious.
