The quintessential French tea salon, the ornate Laduree was established in 1862 and looks liek someting out of Versailles. The pineapple carpacicio with lime sorbet is a signature dessert, but order just about anything on the menu to experience a confectionay epiphany.

Notes
Bateaux-mouches are to Paris what gondolas are to Venice - a wonderfully touristy way to see the city from a different perspective. These glass-enclosed boats ply the waters of the Seine and slip underneath its famous bridges to give you a glimpse of the life along the quais of the refined Right Bank and the storied Left.

Notes
Waiters still dress in black waistcoats and long crisp white aprons, much as they have since the place opened in 1886. The atmosphere is lively and the profiteroles in hot chocolate sauce are reason enough to come, especially if preceded by the best choucroute-and-beer combination this side of Alsace-Lorraine.

St Emilion

There are more than 10,000 vinyards, but the lovely little medieval village of St.-Emilion lures one to linger. Sloping vineyards roll down to its 13th-century ramparts on all sides, enclosing cobbled medieval streets lined with wine stores and bakeries selling lights-as-air macaroons. The small parcel vineyards that fan out from St.-Emilion's town walls provide an intimate opportunity to sample some of Bordeaux's most refined and complex red wines.
