9Paris, France

Paris has long been synonymous with fine dining and culinary artistry. From buttery croissants at corner bakeries to elegant Michelin-starred tasting menus, the city delights on every level.

Paris is the birthplace of haute cuisine, but it’s also home to an incredible variety of bistros, wine bars, and street markets like Marché d’Aligre. Staples such as escargots, onion soup, and boeuf bourguignon remain timeless, while contemporary chefs push boundaries with bold fusion dishes. And of course, no visit is complete without indulging in pastries—macarons, éclairs, and mille-feuille are Parisian icons.
