Since its inception in 2001, this annual jazz concert festival has hosted countless renowned artists, musicians, and emerging new talents from around the world. Held in the hotbed of Paris’ Existentialist Movement in the 1950s, Saint-Germain-des-Prés bursts with arts, intellectualism, and non-conformity at its many lively cafe terraces and sleek underground bars. Join an extensive lineup of international artists at historic venues like Saint-Germain-des-Prés Church, Odéon Theatre, Maison des Océans, and more. Past featured artists include Norah Jones, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Brad Meldhau, and Kyle Eastwood.

Petit retour sur Taste of Paris ! Un apperçu du cadre et des délicieux plats que l'on avons pu déguster. ➡️Mention spéciale au stand de @pierre_sang , chaque plat était un délice . . . #paris #tasteofparis #grandschefs #cuisine #france

A post shared by ALORS LES COPINES (@alorslescopines) on May 29, 2018 at 2:07am PDT

For four straight days, the crème de la crème of Paris’ culinary scene, wine producers, and restaurateurs converge on the Grand Palais for an annual industry exhibition. This convention offers the public a chance to hobnob with world-class chefs, food growers, and industry influencers, and to attend workshops, food and wine tastings, and conferences. Expect to try some of the best dishes from the city’s most decorated restaurants and get an intimate behind the scene look at Paris’ gastronomy.

Known as “Old Paris”, Le Marais has seen it all. A neighbourhood once populated by French nobility and upper-class elite, this downtown district transformed over the centuries into one of the most multicultural parts of the city and a thriving LGBTQ hub. Le Marais crawls along the Seine with vine-covered classical buildings, cobbled streets leading to idyllic fountains, secluded courtyards, and alleyways with psychedelic street arts. Walk past its designer boutique stores, wrought iron balconies, and antique facades to see a city quarter filled with old world charm and progressive modern inhabitants.

Barcelona

Fare of the Month Barcelona Air Canada

“Every time I go back home to visit family and friends I make sure to visit my favourite rooftop bars with the best views, drinks and food and some of Barcelona’s most unique buildings.”— Didac Bermejo Ras, Expert Traveller from Flight Centre Kitsilano, B.C.

Fare of the Month Bacerlona Sagrada Familia Air Canada

“Barcelona: Incredible work of Gaudi at Sagrada … ” Ansar Allibhoy, Expert Traveller from Flight Centre Metrotown, B.C.

Sagrada Familia & L’Eixample District

Fare of the Month Barcelona Air L'Eixample District Canada

An architectural marvel that is still evolving, Sagrada Familia first began construction in 1882 and to-date only half of this basilica is fully built. Based on master architect Antoni Gaudi’s Catalan Modernism designs, the Basilica’s towering gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau spires are iconic to the city. So are the many whimsical buildings that line the streets of L’Eixample District nearby that are also the products of Gaudi’s highly individualistic vision.

Taste

Fare of the Month Barcelona La Boqueria Market Air Canada

“Barcelona: please make sure that you visit La Boqueria Market off of Las Ramblas. Busy but great fresh food options, tapas, and photo opportunities. It is a GORGEOUS market.” — Candy Multamaki, Expert Traveller from Flight Centre Georgetown, ON

Fare of the Month Barcelona La Boqueria Market Air Canada

La Boqueria Market

Just off Las Ramblas, you’ll find the bustling public market La Boqueria under an Art Noveau iron and glass canopy. Within is an impressive collection of Catalonian culture, regional food, and local goods on display. Stop by here for a taste of decadent Spanish pastries, confectionery, fresh produce and jamón. There are also a handful of local favourite restaurants and bars in the market.
