Paris is certain to stir emotions with its beautiful and distinctive architecture, artistic flair and, of course, its gastronomy. The Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Louvre and Champs-Élysées are a must, as are the many wonderful restaurants. For something a bit more different, step off the main streets and enhance your skills at a cooking school. Lock eyes as you try new recipes, or head to the street markets to search for knickknacks and gifts.
