France

Iconic iron lattice tower.

Opulent royal château and gardens.

Nice, Cannes, and Mediterranean glamour.

Perched on the Eiffel Tower's second floor, Alain Ducasse's Le Jules Verne offers haute French cuisine with panoramic Paris views stretching from the Seine to the Sacré-Cœur. Multi-course tasting menus feature refined classics—langoustine, Bresse chicken, and soufflé—in an Art Deco dining room. One of the world's most spectacular restaurant settings.

Bernard Pacaud's three-Michelin-star temple on Place des Vosges serves flawless classical French cuisine—feuilleté de truffe, bar en croûte de sel, and tarte Tatin—in an intimate 18th-century townhouse. Perfectionist technique and the finest ingredients define every plate. Among Paris's most revered dining institutions.

Bertrand Grébaut's neo-bistro in the 11th arrondissement revolutionized Parisian dining with creative, vegetable-forward tasting menus and natural wines in a minimalist industrial setting. A Michelin star and global acclaim have made reservations among the hardest to secure in Paris. The benchmark of modern French bistro gastronomy.
