After London, Paris is Savvy Navigator’s second-favorite European City, and just a quick trip under the Channel Tunnel on the Eurostar train. This is indeed the city of romance and a visit to Paris with your loved one just for the food and wine makes the trip worthwhile. Savvy’s favorite meal in the world is Chateaubriand with Bernaise sauce, frites and a glass or Brugundy Pinot. And there’s no better place in the world to consume it. Paris is sort of the Mecca for foodies.
