Culture vultures love Paris for its museums, galleries, concerts, events, and simply wandering through the beautiful streets taking in the sights, smells, and atmosphere.

Bordeaux, Burgundy, and Champagne offer budding sommeliers the chance to sample some of the world’s best wine after they have learned their verb conjugations, and students often say that a glass of wine relaxes them and helps their spoken French.
