PARIS Capital of France

Paris, France’s capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine. Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral, the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré.

Paris is a leading city in tourism and welcomes approximately 30 million visitors each year of which about 17 million are foreign visitors. The French capital includes some well-known monuments, museums and tourist attractions such as the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre museum, the Arc de Triomphe, the Sacré-Cœur basilica in Montmartre, the Musée d’Orsay and Centre Pompidou. 30 km east of central Paris is Disneyland Paris, Europe’s largest and most visited theme park (16 million visitors in 2012).

Paris is now famous for being a global fashion hub and for its haute-cuisine.

Transportation

The Paris Experience

There’s so much more to Paris than the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe. If you want to get under the skin of the city, skip out on a day’s sightseeing and go in search of unforgettable experiences instead.

Dining On Campus

A good restaurant isn’t necessarily a classy one, and there’s no reason dining out in Paris should mean shelling out.

Museum

If you don’t fancy shelling out for the Paris Museum Pass, there are also plenty of museums offering free entry all the time, including these.

Paris in the rain
