Cuisine: French Specialties

Paris is widely regarded as the culinary capital of Europe. It’s home to some of the world’s best restaurants, patisseries, and markets, all of which offer unique French dishes. If you’re exploring Paris for the first time, here are some traditional French specialties that should be on your must-try list.

Begin with a delectable bowl of onion soup – a classic that’s been enjoyed since its creation in 1786. This savory treat consists of beef broth laden with caramelized onions and topped with croutons and melted cheese. For an even heartier option, indulge in Coq au vin – made from chicken braised in red wine along with mushrooms, bacon, and carrots.

The Eiffel Tower

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most structure in Paris and has been a major symbol of the city since it was first built in 1889. Standing 324 meters tall, it is the largest structure in Paris and can be seen almost everywhere in the city. The tower offers visitors an unrivaled view of the City of Lights and its many beautiful attractions. Discovering Paris with the Eiffel Tower as your guide is a truly unforgettable experience.

Climbing to the top platform offers some stunning views over Paris, but there are other ways to take in this incredible sight – such as walking along its four levels or simply admiring it from afar.
