Laws in Strasbourg prevent Le Village de la Bière from selling beer for consumption on the premises, but they don’t stop this beer seller from being passionate about his craft.

Our tour guide Daniel is back to show us around Île Saint-Louis, one of the two islands situated between the Right Bank and the Left Bank of Paris—right in the middle of the Seine. Stroll along the riverbanks, visit the churches and cathedrals, and enjoy the picturesque Parisian beauty.

Though the Eiffel Tower used to be called, somewhat derisively, “the metal asparagus” by many Parisians, today it’s one of the most iconic and adored structures in the world. Here we get expert tips: on the best views, the best time to go, and what to see in the Tour itself.

Parks, streets, boulevards, a storied history, and an eclectic mix of people: Belleville has it all! This historic neighborhood in Paris’s 20th arrondissement has been home to many different immigrant groups over the years and in recent times has taken a turn for the “bobo.”

International soccer in South Africa isn’t just for the World Cup! A group of eight kids from Lyon has the chance to win big—on and off the field—thanks to the “Sport in the City” association.

Frenchman Jean-Marc takes a trip to the seaside and lets us know how the beaches of New York’s Long Island compare to those in France. (Though clearly he’s never been to Long Beach on a holiday weekend!)

The Gallery Art Up Deco in scenic Strasbourg showcases the work of contemporary artists and aims to have something for everyone. Owner and gallery manager Toufik Zekhnini shows us the ropes.

It’s the perfect day for a stroll along the Atlantic. Jean-Marc shows off more of his hospitable surroundings. Check out the sun, sand, and cold, cold water.

Take a tour of the Butte Bergeyre, a charming area of Paris that even Parisians don’t know much about. Unlike the rest of the city, you won’t find many tourists here -- though you may spot a vineyard or two!

You say flammekueche, I say tarte flambée! But no matter the moniker, we can certainly agree on one thing: this Alsatian specialty is a gustatory delight!

Not only does Jean-Marc have a totally sweet ride, he also gets to ski on some of the coolest slopes in France. Lucky guy!

Daniel Benchimol guides us through the Quartier de la Mouzaïa, a quaint Parisian neighborhood filled with brightly-colored houses, patriotic street names, and old signs. You might forget you’re in a major city in the midst of this beautiful country landscape.

On two summer nights per year, the small town of Nieul-le-Dolant transforms into “Nieul, Village de Lumière” (“Nieul, Village of Light”) and captivates both its residents and its visitors with a dazzling display of illuminated buildings and monuments.

Did you ever think you could drink champagne while kayaking? You can with “Rando Bulles de Champ’ et Canoë” (“Outing, Champagne Bubbles, and Canoeing”), a kayaking service which will take you along the Seine in the Aube department in the region of (where else?) Champagne-Ardenne.

At nightfall in Gstaad, the preeminent ski resort in the Alps, a privileged few among the stars and high society can listen to the most popular classical musicians in the world…
