Going to theme parks is always a fun time. I remember how my family would take trips to hop on some awesome roller coasters. Sadly, we all grew up and those trips became less common, especially since some of us moved away. There's no doubt that Disneyland is the pinnacle of these parks. It's pretty much every kid's dream to go to Disneyland and meet all of their favorite movie characters. Heck, even adults love going there — even though they know they will have to deal with kids always screaming and going crazy... Nobody wants that. Well, buckle up, because France has the solution to every adult's plight. Yup, they've created a child-free theme park, but what's the theme?
Wine! What is this beautiful, beautiful place called? La Cité du Vin, which means "City of Wine." It's definitely not your traditional theme park because there are no roller coasters, rides, corn dogs, and sausages (well, maybe). It's almost museum-esque as the purpose of the La Cité du Vin is to educate its visitors and take them through the history of wine. I kind of lied about there being no rides because there is actually a boat ride that is meant to give you the feeling of what being a sea merchant was like. The structure that houses La Cité du Vin is absolutely stunning and is nothing to scoff at. If you're feeling hungry, they've got you covered. Inside the building are two restaurants, one which offers dishes made from regional produce and one that has a massive amount of wine from all around the world. Best of all, no screaming kids! So, what are you waiting for? It's time to fly to France and start wine tasting the right way.
