There are imitations all over the world, but nothing comes close to the original location on the Champs Élysées. The best macarons you'll ever have. Worth waiting in line for 45 minutes. Trust me.
An incredible day trip from Paris if you've got the time, especially in the Fall. It's built over a river! One of the most iconic chateaus in the Loire Valley lives up to its reputation.
An iconic cafe in the Saint Germain district. Said to be a favorite spot of the art and literary elite including Ernest Hemingway and Pablo Picasso. Perfect spot for breakfast and a cappuccino.
Lots to see & do in this beautiful seaside town of Saint-Malo in the Bretagne region, including this restaurant. The seafood was great, and especially fresh since you're right on the English Channel.
Famous for its quiche Lorraine, and for very good reason. This should be your first stop if you're spending the day in the Montmartre district.
A charming place on the Ile Saint-Louis. Homey atmosphere. It's small and quintessentially Parisian. The food is fantastic, especially the cheese plate and the chocolate mousse.
If you're ever in Normandy with some time to kill, stop by this place in the charming town of La Roche Guyon, on the northern banks of the Seine river. The best crepe I had in France!
There's nothing fancy about this place, but it's easily the best falafel I've ever had, anywhere! Don't get tempted by the competing falafel places in the Marais district trying to lure you in!
One of my favorite spots in Paris. This bridge is so ornate and beautiful, and it has an amazing view of the Eiffel Tower. Great way to top off a long walk down the Champs Élysées.
One of my favorite places in France. A short train ride from Paris, then a beautiful bike ride through the countryside of Normandy to Giverny. A scene from the impressionist painting "Water Lilies."
A beautiful town in northern France, worth visiting if you're nearby or in Paris. Take a walk along the banks of the Seine, visit the famous chateau, and have dinner at Aux Bords de Seine.
