Daniel Benchimol takes us around Paris's historic Bastille neighborhood, the site of one of the most significant events of the French Revolution. Today the area is much more subdued, with the relaxing Port de l'Arsenal and its friendly yacht club and a private mansion located on what is considered the most expensive square meter in the city.

Everyone is familiar with Paris's iconic Notre-Dame Cathedral, but the area around this Gothic landmark is worth exploring as well. From a gorgeous flower market to medieval tombs tucked away in a small side street, there's plenty to discover in this famous neighborhood.

Daniel Benchimol has done it again! He uncovers yet another surprise for us right in the heart of Paris. Where can you catch a movie and a ferry at the same time? Find out in this new edition.

Daniel Benchimol walks us through one of Paris's most charming neighborhoods, the Campagne à Paris (Countryside in Paris). This small, quiet corner of the 20th arrondissement is made up of only 89 houses built in 1906 and gives the impression of a quaint village inside a major city.

The Quai Branly Museum in Paris is devoted to the indigenous art of Africa, Asia, Oceania, and the Americas. The building is surrounded by a massive plant wall and features a gorgeous anthropology library. Make sure to check it out during your next visit!

Many people know a thing or two about French wine, but what do we know about grape growing? This grape grower from Provence tells us all about pruning a vine.

Jean-Marc Espinasse owns a vineyard in the southern Rhone Valley, whose Mediterranean climate makes it a perfect place for wine production. In this video, Jean-Marc gives us a taste of the different types of wine he makes.

If you're into flowers, the Cité Florale (Floral City) is the place to go. Daniel Benchimol walks us through the secret streets of this quiet Parisian neighborhood.

According to our trusty tour guide, Daniel Benchimol, Paris's Alexander III Bridge is one of the most beautiful in the city. You might find it hard to disagree after watching this video!

Arles is an interesting town to visit, well-known for its Roman amphitheater. At one point two hundred houses were hiding inside the arena itself.

Catherine continues her tour of Arles by taking us through the city's narrow streets lined with old houses, which offer some nice shade during the hot summer months.

Catherine shows us how to spot the differences between a seventeenth-century building and an eighteenth-century one in this introduction to the southern French city of Arles.

The Parc Montsouris is home to an interesting assortment of landmarks and is right next to Paris's famed Cité Universitaire. Come check it out with Daniel Benchimol!

Fénétrange is a medieval town near the German border that was once the site of dungeons and witch hunts. But don't let that keep you from visiting: Lionel will be there to show you around this charming little village.

You might have noticed that the French word for breakfast literally means “little lunch.” Instead of the pancakes and waffles of the US and the full breakfast of the British Isles, the French prefer a lighter fare for their morning meal. But that doesn’t mean they won’t chow down later in the day….

Sometimes the best places in a city are the ones that no one knows about. In this video, Sophie shows us her favorite secret spot in Paris, the Place Édouard VII. Make sure you get there before it becomes a tourist trap!

A cemetery might not top your list of places to visit in a city. But actually, cemeteries are a treasure trove of information on a city’s history and architectural taste. The cemetery in Roubaix is particularly rich, with Gothic and art deco tombs side by side.

What do Charles Baudelaire, Simone de Beauvoir, and the architect of the Statue of Liberty have in common? They are all buried in the Montparnasse cemetery, home to the graves of some of the greatest figures in French history. Here are some of its other famous souls.

Come meet the owner of the bistro Parigot (French slang for “Parisian”). This charming restaurant is a French oasis at the intersection of Manhattan’s Chinatown/Little Italy and Soho districts.

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…

Come take a trip to St-Jean-de-Luz, a beautiful resort town along the Atlantic in the Basque country of southwest France. Don’t forget to bring a towel!

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.

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!)

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.”
