With the Eiffel Tower as our November issue cover star, we celebrate the City of Light—just one of our readers’ favorite places, revealed in the 2016 Readers’ Choice Awards.Nobody does a pastry basket quite like the hotels of Paris—it’s a little thing, to be sure, but when you add up all the little things Paris does well, all the details it has mastered over the centuries, you’ll see why it’s one of the world’s great cities. It consistently lands on our Readers’ Choice Awards list of best international cities—as it did this year, just unveiled today—so we know our readers agree.
And we know that, no matter how golden a city may seem, even the finest face adversity: It was nearly a year ago that Paris suffered its worst attack since World War II, and since then, it has faced the invisible, lingering threat of fear, the kind that troubles locals like a nervous undercurrent, and keeps travelers from visiting.
