Great French croissants near Park City...

If you ask my wife and try to understand what she misses most about France, she'll probably say: “Freshly baked croissants in the morning!” Since we live 5,000 miles (8,000 km) away from France, our seemingly only alternative is to catch the Delta flight between Salt Lake City and Paris in order to grab these precious delicacies and bring them home.

Yet, more than time and issues of freshness, there's of course the problem of affordability; a round trip ticket departing today would set me back $1,138 which would make for an expensive bundle of croissants, not counting jet lag and strain on the body.

Thanks God, there's a sensible alternative which consist in jumping in my car and driving less than 4 mile (6 km) to the Deer Valley Grocery~Café and get these precious croissants, as fresh and as delicious as their French-made counterparts. Life is good!
