    Food Travel From Paris

    Must-do day trips from Paris to discover more famous foods of France. Drive or hop on a train and escape for a foodie trip an hour or two from the city - or further for a few days or long weekend away.

    For the day, visit the King's vegetable gardens in Versailles or discover the royal town of Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Dumas' Château de Monte Cristo and Monet's Giverny.

    Travel through food to the oldest city of Marseille, the culinary capital of Lyon, or discover Dijon has more than mustard.
