Capture the blooming wisteria

You can still catch wisteria blooms over in France – they’re a classic in any picturesque French country garden but you can also find them injecting colour in cities across the country. This beautiful bloom was captured on Rue des Thermopyles in Paris.

Snack on macarons

Available in pretty much any colour under the sun, you can’t go to France without snapping some macarons. The best macarons in France are widely considered to be Pierre Hermé so it'd be criminal not to try them.
