Paris
France’s capital is one of the world’s greatest cities with a multitude of famous attractions and an ambience which has attracted visitors for centuries. From incredible museums like The Louvre and the Pompidou Centre, stunning monuments such as the Eiffel Tour and the Grande Arche de la Defense, and historical sights such as Notre Dame, Paris has something for everyone. It’s also a place where international commerce reigns supreme with an array of renowned companies, as well as the home of France’s national teams in soccer and rugby. But it is in the small streets, shops and cafes of the city where the unique Parisian spirit is to be found – something worth exploring to the max.
