The best of Paris and France, destination by destination (2026)

Paris first, then the rest of France. Pick a city or region to see every guide we publish for it, plus its picks from our France-wide lists.

Paris

The city most of our guides are about — bistros and bakeries, the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay, Left Bank cafés and the hotels worth the splurge.

The capital of the French Riviera — the Promenade des Anglais, the old town's markets, socca and the beaches of the Baie des Anges.

France's food capital — bouchons, Paul Bocuse's legacy, Les Halles, Renaissance Vieux Lyon and the two rivers.

France's oldest city — the Vieux-Port, bouillabaisse, Notre-Dame de la Garde, the MuCEM and the calanques.

Eighteenth-century elegance on the Garonne, the Cité du Vin, and the world's most famous wine region on its doorstep.

Half-timbered Petite France, the Gothic cathedral, Alsatian winstubs and France's most famous Christmas market.

The film festival town — La Croisette, the palace hotels, private beaches and the Lérins Islands offshore.

Lavender fields, hilltop villages, Avignon's Palais des Papes, Aix-en-Provence's markets and the Luberon.

The valley of the châteaux — Chambord, Chenonceau, Amboise and Villandry — plus the vineyards of Vouvray and Sancerre.

Mont-Saint-Michel, the D-Day beaches, Monet's garden at Giverny, Honfleur and Étretat's white cliffs.

Every guide we publish, filterable by destination and category.
