Meet Ella, on the brink of turning 30 and full of regret for a life
only half lived. In a haze of heartbreak after splitting up with the
man she thought she was going to marry, she makes the only decision that
seems rational and buys a one-way ticket to Paris, embarking on a
pilgrimage of food, wine, and joie de vivre. After arriving, Ella
struggles to grasp the nuances of French manners and friendship. She
soon finds herself caught between two men who inhabit opposite ends of
the Paris food scene, getting wined and dined by one, and inadvertently
making a bet to try every type of French fromage with the other. As
the seasons change, Ella realizes that there's more to life in France
than champagne and cheese. At some point the Eiffel Tower stops
sparkling and she needs to decide where her heart truly lies.
