France

Paris lives up to the hype. The City of Light delivers world-class museums, iconic architecture, and some of the best food on the planet. Each arrondissement has its own personality — the Marais for trendy boutiques, Saint-Germain for literary cafes, Montmartre for bohemian charm. The city is surprisingly walkable and the Metro makes everything else easy to reach.

France's oldest and most diverse city sits on the Mediterranean coast with the stunning Calanques national park at its doorstep. A gritty, authentic port city famous for bouillabaisse, the Vieux-Port, and the hilltop Notre-Dame de la Garde basilica.
