Welcome to Paris

Paris is the capital city of France. It is situated on the River Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. Paris has the reputation of being the most beautiful and romantic of all cities, brimming with historical associations and remaining vastly influential in the realms of culture, art, fashion, food and design. Dubbed the city of Light, it is the most popular tourist destination in the world with over 30 million foreign visitors per year.

Paris is one of Europe's culinary centers. You can find hundreds of beautiful restaurants with thoughtful interior design and well-planned and executed cartes and menus offering a creative mélange of French and exotic foreign cuisines. For the best value, look for places to eat away from the major tourist attractions. Don't expect to do Paris on the cheap!

There are numerous iconic landmarks (far too many to list here) among its many attractions, along with world famous institutions and popular parks. To see as much as possible and make the best use of your time in Paris, invest in a good guide book on or before arrival.

Enjoy the city. Take the time to walk along the Seine or have a nice picnic in one of Paris' many parks. If you're up to it, try rollerblading or riding a bicycle by the Seine on Sunday mornings.
