France
Eat and drink yourself silly as you come soak in the sea breeze, the fresh mountain air, the city of light and love and as much cheese and bread as you can fit into your body. It is every bit as glamorous as advertised. The flakey pastries will melt in your mouth, the light music and smooth sounds of the French language will line your ears and the savory smells of a French kitchen will envelope your nose. France is a sensory overload in the very, very best way imaginable.

When to go
You’ll find the most agreeable weather from May to October. Cities empty out in August as that is when France has vacation time and beaches are extremely crowded. July is also a fairly busy time for tourism and spiked prices throughout the country. Wine country gears up for the harvest season of September and October and winter is an excellent time to experience few crowds with cold but not unbearable weather.
