What to do, where to stay, and where to eat in Paris
© Joanna Van Mulder
The City of Light is beloved by world travelers for good reason: its eighteenth-century streets look as if they were lifted straight from a fairy tale; its haute couture sparks global style trends, its plentiful museums house unparalleled collections of art and artifacts, and its restaurants—from the humble bistro to temples like Taillevent—are the stuff of culinary legend. If that's doesn't make you fall for Paris, then a lifestyle that's all about seduction surely will. More than anywhere else, what you do with your time here—even if you are doing nothing but biting into the perfect croissant—is about indulging in pleasure. While the café-society charm of a bygone era lingers on, the French capital is undoubtedly a 21st-century city, vibrant, multicultural, and above all, stylish.
