Honeymoon in France

Take a gastronomical tour of the best that France has to offer, starting in the Champagne region before heading off to the vineyards of Bordeaux and the distilleries of Cognac. End your trip with a stop in Paris.

Brian McMahon
Scenset travel curator

They say that France’s allure comes from its je ne sais quoi, but there’s a reason that it’s the most visited country in the world. The quoi, as it happens, is the unceasing power to surprise you. You could spend a lifetime in Paris and discover something new with every stroll. Outside the capital, charming villages reside in the mountains, countryside, and by the sea, while wine enthusiasts could visit a different French winery every day for a lifetime and still be unable to see them all.

With its belle époque architecture, centuries of history, and countless museums, it’s no wonder Paris has been the home to generations of artists, writers, and musicians. It’s easy to feel inspired while climbing the Eiffel Tower or wandering the Louvre, but the city’s true soul resides in its quotidian pleasures: a flaky croissant from the corner patisserie, discovering a quiet cobblestone street, drinking an apéritif along the Seine. Perhaps you’ll find your own muse in the City of Lights.
