Paris
Paris, the capital of France, is the spiritual home of all things chic and artistic. From the central grand boulevards to the out-of-the-way charm of Montmartre, the city's 28 million visitors a year are rarely disappointed with their visit.
Whether you yearn for shopping, culture, gourmet dining or entertainment, you will be spoilt for choice in Paris.
It is hard to think of a city that has such a vast array of impressive buildings, monuments and gardens. From the world famous (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triumph, Notre Dame) to the well-loved (Sacré Coeur, Jardin du Luxembourg, Musée d'Orsay) and the must-see (Louvre, Pompidou and Champs Élysées) - Paris has it all. |
