Aug 9, 2023Curated Menus Turn Flights into Epicurean Adventures with Cultural Connections
A trip to France isn’t just about seeing the Eiffel Tower and Mona Lisa, sipping Champagne at a sidewalk café or shopping at the flagship Chanel store. In truth, it means plunging into French culture, devouring its cuisine, practicing that moue, dining on escargot, eating cheese for dessert and rakishly trying to sport that beret. French culture is ... je ne sais quoi ... chic and stylish, elegant and understated, clever and carefully curated. French culture means taking a deep dive into l’art de vivre, the art of living life to its fullest and as beautifully as possible. L’art de vivre reigns as the essence of Air France.

Remarkable Medellín
Visiting Medellín in Colombia: The Country of Beauty is like stepping into a fantastic story — literally, as the city in the Western Colombian Andes region inspired Disney’s Encanto.

And it’s especially more tempting following Medellín’s remarkable transformation, shedding its troubled past and reawakening as a city of innovation, art, cultural richness, modern infrastructure, thriving tourism and resiliency.

May 22, 2023Island Indulgence: Fall in Love at First Sight with the Luxurious Paradise of the Maldives
Like a hazy concept from a romance novel, the impossibly sublime Maldives appears in the imagination as a tropical paradise: bone-white sand, palm trees, gin-clear water the color of Delft pottery, marine life galore from manta rays to whale sharks, coral reefs, and pampering resorts with suites straddling the water. The destination’s reality not only lives up to such fantastical visions but surpasses them. Far-flung in the Indian Ocean, southwest of Sri Lanka and India, the archipelagic nation, Asia’s smallest country, stretches out for 541 oceanic miles, composed of nearly 2,000 islands and 26 atolls. Needless to say, it takes a long haul to arrive, one fraught with anxiety that perhaps it won’t be on par with the hype. Never fear. The Maldives won’t disappoint. It’s a love-at-first-sight vacation spot, no matter which of its more than 100 eye-popping hotels you’ve chosen as your home.
