The South is home to what is arguably the most French city in America: New Orleans. Settled by the French, it still has the atmosphere, food and attitude of France in many ways. Nearby Cajuns still speak French.

While in New Orleans, be sure to indulge in the most French of activities: sipping cafe au lait and watching the world go by. The Cafe Du Monde is the ideal spot for it.

Some of the world's finest French food can be found in New Orleans' restaurants. The architecture in the French Quarter is very (surprise, surprise) French.

At Epcot France in Florida, see imitation French buildings and a scaled-down Eiffel Tower, or indulge in a French pastry and wine. You can also shop for imported French gifts, cookbooks, and perfume.
