Saint Emilion: Wine Tasting & Medieval Village Half-Day from BordeauxYou taste red wines in a château with a guide explaining the terroir, then wander the UNESCO medieval village of Saint Emilion on your own for an hour or two, climbing its steep cobbled streets and walking the old city walls.

Paris Croissant Baking Class: Make Three Pastries with a ChefA small-group croissant baking class in Paris at Place des Vosges teaches you to make a croissant, pain au chocolat and pain au raisin from scratch under a professional chef's guidance.
