Paris, France

( Bruno Morandi )

The City of Light will always be a food lover's destination, melding flavors and legendary wines from across France. With perfect chocolates, flaky croissants, precious macarons, fresh and light fish in buttery sauces, succulent goat cheese, fall-off-the-bone meats, herb-y terrines, and roasted root vegetables, French cuisine in Paris can be as decadent or light as you desire. Grand, palatial, and Michelin-starred restaurants coexist with newly opened hole-in-the-wall eateries.
