Paris is the fashion capital of the world, the trendsetter and a city of unparalleled chic. Also known as the City of Lights, Paris is a patron of the arts and artists.
The art at the Louvre, the 18th century palaces on the Seinethe sidewalk cafe tablesb and coloured glow of Notre Dame's stained glass are all reflections of this beautiful and sophisticated city that is fragrant with French perfume
The Grand Louvre
The Grand Louvre is the former royal palace that was opened to the public as an art gallery when the French Revolution broke out.
It hosts five million visitors annually, and over 30,000 works spanning three millennia are on
display. More than anything else Vinci's Monalisa,
sVenus de Milo, and Winged Victory of
Samothrace are the major attractions.
Notre Dame Cathedral
This 12th-to-14th century cathedral is a study of gothic beauty and gargoyles. It has been remodelled, embellished, ransacked and restored so often that many wonder how it has managed to retain its beauty and architectural integrity.
Eiffel Tower
Gustave Alexandre Eiffel is the man who had designed the backbone of the Statue of Liberty, and the Eiffel Tower rises 1,056 feet above the banks of the Seine. It is truly an amazing sight to behold.

177 sculptures, and thousands of
sketches and engravings. Some of the masterpieces here include
Le Baiser, Pan Flute, Two Women Running Along the Beach, Nude in a Red Armchair, and The Crucifixion.
