One can only describe the city of Barcelona as vibrant. There is an excitement in the air at all times, the buzz of a city that is brimming with history and yet embracing the future effortlessly, a city of music, food, art, design, sun, sand and so much more it hugs you and doesn’t let go and neither do you want it to.
L’Arpege, Paris
Ah Paris, a city rich with history and culture, home to the Eiffel tower, one of the world’s most recognizable and famous landmarks and the Louvre, the world’s largest single museum that has 16km of galleries including the wealthy Mona Lisa, worth a staggering £700 million. The city of lovers, the city of poets and writers, of artists and philosophers and once upon a time, the culinary capital of the Western world – the crowning glory in French gastronomy, ruling the guides with 18 restaurants given 3 Michelin stars and an army of 2 and 1 stars. Paris with its seductive charm and reckless traffic is a foodie paradise. Whilst it may not be as culturally diverse in its offerings as London, there is no shortage of fine dining, with some restaurants taking it a step further into opulent dining.
