Region:France, Paris

1. Eiffel Tower
When the Eiffel Tower was first built, many Parisians argued that the huge lump of iron was ugly and should be demolished immediately. However, over time it has become the landmark most associated with Paris. Built to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the French Revolution, the approximately 300-meter-tall Eiffel Tower offers a beautiful night view from the Palais de Chaillot, and viewing Paris's nightscape from the Eiffel Tower's observation deck also provides an unforgettable, enchanting experience.

2. Bordeaux Winery Tour
The combination of French cuisine and a glass of wine! How about leaving the bustling city for a while to visit small towns in France and learn about wine? A winery is a place where grapes are cultivated and the harvested grapes are aged to make wine. Take a winery tour in the French regions and taste the unique wines each area has to offer. Tasting wine at a winery and spending a night in a château where French nobility once stayed can create an unforgettable memory.

3. Strasbourg
Strasbourg became known to many after the four elderly men visited in the Europe episode of the TV show “Grandpas Over Flowers.” The city changed hands between France and Germany several times during wars before ultimately becoming part of France, and visitors can still easily find traces of German influence throughout the city. Its quaint buildings evoke a fairy-tale village, and taking a boat cruise along the river through the storybook-like town will be a memorable experience.
