France fashions a romantic ideal. It’s the cliché of a lovers' stroll by a moonlit river. It’s looking for luxury in the little things, like an endless dinner where conversation flows. Its sophisticated scenery includes opulent palaces and a glamorous coast. France feeds the fantasy with amorous arts and the finest food, with sparkling cities and bucolic towns. Allons-y, make it your reality.

What to bring back
A little luxury if you can afford it (Hermès? Louis Vuitton? Limoges porcelains? Champagne?), perfume, and local wine.
What to eat
The clichés: freshly baked breads and croissants, all the cheese, all the pastries, delicacies like foie gras and traditional dishes like pot-au-feu (French beef stew).
Fun fact
France’s list of achievements and inventions is infinite — the country gave us the cinema, the bicycle, the stethoscope and champagne — but the country also has a silly side complete with bizarre laws, like one declaring it illegal to name your pig Napoleon or to fly a UFO over the vineyard of Chateauneuf-du-Pape. Pourquoi pas!
