Paris in $650s-$690s RT

Springtime in Paris: peonies framing the Eiffel Tower, nibbling macarons in the buttery sunshine in the Jardin de Luxembourg, blah, blah, blah...

It's magical. I'm sure you've heard allllll about it.

But have you heard about Noisiel? It's the perfect chance to get out of the city, wrapped up in a sweet little package.

Hidden away along the banks of the Marne River sits the old Menier chocolate factory empire, where you can see 19th-century industrial grandeur right up close. The straight-out-of-a-fairytale Saulnier Mill still towers over the water, offering a deliciously eerie peek into France's confectionery history.
