Paris

Paris

Paris, the romantic capital of France, is considered one of the world's most important and most attractive cities. Its cultural and historical significances are evident in its many noted landmarks, including the famous Eiffel Tower, Montmarte art district, the Louvre Museum and the commemorative Arc de Triomphe. The bustling atmosphere on the shop-lined Champs-Elysees, coupled with the many restaurants, taverns, and performances enhances the night-life in the "City of Lights".

Attractions

Paris and the Eiffel Tower are synonymous. You see it from almost everywhere in the city. But don't miss the chance to go to the top. The view is breathtaking.

Activities

Spend a day getting lost in the Louvre. This fabulous, maze-like museum is home to one of the greatest art collections in the world, including the Mona Lisa. Sail down the Seine in the shadow of the Notre Dame Cathedral. This famous cathedral is a beautiful example of gothic architecture and is where Napoleon and Josephine were crowned in 1804. Stroll along the Champs Élysées, stopping in some of the world's finest shops. Visit the Arc de Triomphe, built in 1806 to commemorate Napoleon's victories.

Food

The French are known for their cuisine, and Paris has many delicious examples. But to many, the true taste of Paris is sold on street corners throughout the city. Crepes are available everywhere, and with cheese or chocolate they're a terrific snack and a fun way to sample local fare.

Currency

The Euro (EUR), the currency of the European Union, is the official currency of France. Many stores and restaurants also accept major credit cards, which usually offer you a good exchange rate. When shopping, remember there is a Value-Added Tax added to most purchases.
