A village boulangerie
Forget Paris bakeries. The real croissant experience is in a small-town boulangerie where the baker starts at 4am and everything is gone by 10.
✨ Must-sees in France
The real must-sees in France go beyond the postcard spots. These are the places locals point visitors toward once the obvious sights are out of the way.
In France, must-sees comes down to a few things: a village boulangerie, the canal at golden hour, and a local marché nocturne.
The canal at golden hour
Canal Saint-Martin in Paris, or any canal town in the south. Bring wine, cheese, and a friend. This is France at its most French.
A local marché nocturne
Summer night markets in the south — grilled food, local wine, live music, families eating together at communal tables under string lights.
