In the late 1950s, the rocky shores of northeastern Sardinia lay desolate, save for some resident goats and the shepherds who tended them. Its fate changed dramatically when a raging storm led 21-year-old Prince Karim Aga Khan to seek refuge on its shores. Spiritual leader to the Ismaili Muslims, Aga Khan found himself on the island’s wild coastline surrounded by turquoise blue waters. In his joyous relief, he declared the land a paradise. More than 60 years on, the sentiment still rings true.

While it can be difficult to find a reason to leave Paris even for just a few hours, the Champagne region is one of the best day trips you can take from the City of Lights; you can spend the day trying out all sorts of French bubbly and still make it back to the capital for your late-night reservation at Septime. The trip from Paris to Reims, one of the three main cities in Champagne (the other two are Epernay and Aÿ), is surprisingly easy—just 45 minutes by high-speed train or two hours driving. Like in many other French wine regions, you’ll want to plan ahead by making reservations at wineries and tasting rooms, and deciding how you’ll safely get from destination to destination once you’ve had a glass or three of wine. Read on to learn more about when to visit, where to stay, and most importantly, where to taste wine in the Champagne region.

If Miami and Palm Beach had a love child, it would be Fort Lauderdale. Quickly shedding its image as just a spring break destination, the city is redefining itself as a place that lacks the formality of its neighbor to the north (Palm Beach), but has all the trappings of the vibrant metropolis to the south (Miami). And while Fort Lauderdale is quickly catching up on the five-star luxury-resort front, the real-estate (and therefore hotel) prices have not yet approached the levels of Palm Beach's on Worth Avenue. Fort Lauderdale lacks pomp and doesn’t take itself too seriously: It’s a place that still feels accessible thanks to an abundance of public beaches, a lack of gated communities, and a culinary scene that won’t break the bank.
