France

Just watching this race must be the epitome of an adrenaline workout. Considered the premiere race of glamour and prestige it is also considered quite dangerous due to the changes of altitude and hazardous twists. Rumor has it the drivers get more handsome after they're done (kidding).

I actually love the look of these but I'm not wild about the fact that they dangle directly over the city.

Even in a city where elegance is the norm rather than the exception, the George V really, really dazzles. That is, unless you know another hotel that has an Hermès-inspired Rolls on hand (not to mention five specially trained drivers) to pick you up from the airport.

A classic hotel.

This is on of the most luxurious hotels I have ever been too--their spa is seriously unlike any other I've been to.

This place crosses over from "hip" to "annoying" occasionally, but it's still a fun place to check out.

One of my favorite lunch spots!

The location is insane -- I especially love their restaurant!

I can't say enough about the service at the Plaza Athenee -- their staff is incredible!

A classic but always hip.

It makes sense that the luxurious Plaza Athenee is home to the culinary genius of Chef Alain Ducasse. His food is just incredible!
