Taste of France

Fromage, champagne, a 35-hour workweek—the French really know how to live. Get in on that joie de vivre at this weekend-long celebration of Gallic diversions. Despite the outrageous omission of a French-kissing booth, there are plenty of worthwhile amusements, including a daily parade of French bulldogs, literary panels, cooking demos and live music and DJs. Sip white wine from Burgundy during Le Grand Wine Tasting on Sat 28 ($150); sample charcuterie from D’Artagnan; or pick up a custom-made artisan perfume at the L'Oréal beauty session.
