Paris, France

What can be said about Paris that hasn’t been said before – the City of Lights dazzles on all fronts. The iconic Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe guarding the glamorous avenue des Champs-Élysées, the Notre Dame cathedral with its gorgeous flying buttresses, lamplit bridges spanning the Seine, and cafes with their wicker chairs are all emblems of the city. Whether you opt for a triple-Michelin-starred restaurant, a local neighborhood bistro, or a create-your-own-picnic with items from the numerous patisseries, boulangeries (bakeries), fromageries (cheese shops) and street markets, you will definitely not go hungry. You can even learn to cook some French delicacies in one of the numerous culinary courses offered in the city. And if art is more of your liking, Paris was home to Renoir, Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Dalí and Van Gogh, and the city is one of the world's greatest art collections.
