Overview
Having reputation of being the most beautiful and romantic cities of all,
Paris doesnt need much introduction. Paris is the Capital and the most
cosmopolitan city of France. Located in north of the country on the river
Seine, the city is an influential center of almost everything i.e. politics,
fashion, business, food, arts and science.
This French Capital today serves as an important hub of continental
transportation and is home to some of the most prominent universities, sport
events, opera companies and museums. With its people being stylish and
flirtatious, architecture seductive, restaurants and nightlife devoted to
pleasure and its streets scattered with dreams, its undoubtedly impossible
not to fall in love with this intoxicating city.
A lavish metropolis, Paris is truly one of the world's greatest cities
satisfying the desires of tourists and business people alike. The numerous
expos and conventions on one side and colorful festivals and fairs on the
other are the source of attracting huge crowds to the city.
Known as The City of Light, Paris is the most popular tourist
destination in the world especially for couples. As far as world-famous
landmarks go, the city dozens of them. From Marais in the east to Eiffel
Tower in west, from Pantheon to Notre-Dame Cathedral and from Sacre Couer to
Obelisque, Paris extends itself to every traveler. While like almost any
other European capital, it wears its history like a proud badge as well.
There is no one 'best time' to visit Paris. Every season is alive with
their own beauty and activities. Where summer days are spent lazing on the
banks of the Seine or idling in one of the city's many gardens or forests,
the winter nights on the other hand induce warm glow ice-skating.
Therefore, it is undeniably right as said by Hemingway that your memories
of Paris will become a moveable feast that will stay with you
for the rest of your life.
