City Description

Paris, a mesmerizing city brimming with romance and relaxation

No matter where you are in Paris, you will find a historical site. No matter where you go – the north, south, east, or west, you are where the absolute monarchy once stood hundreds of years ago, where the start of the French Revolution occurred, and where the glorious the Napoleonic Empire once flourished.

It is also the city of art, romance, lovers, fashion, lights, etc. There are endless adjectives to describe Paris with. That means Paris has many different sides to it that people want to see.

As a city of art, its museums and galleries encompass artworks from the ancient, medieval, contemporary, modern, and future eras.

As a city of romance, you will never be bored even strolling down the streets of performance artists or musicians in the subway, and at times you can just sit back and relax in the open-air café.

As a city of lovers, the panorama of a romantic city and romantic lighting has the magic to make even the shiest person muster the courage to profess their love.

It is also the city of fashion. Truly, Paris is where fashion is made and trends are created. Browsing the shops alone will upgrade your fashion sense.

Paris is also the city of lights. The city has two charming faces – day and night. The indirect lighting allows the Eiffel Tower to shine even brighter at night and the avenue of Champs-Élysées flaunts the nights of Paris with its fancy lights.

Paris - the name alone captures the charm of the city.
