Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is one of the world's most iconic cities. Known as the "City of Light" (La Ville Lumière), it has been a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy, and culture for centuries. Situated on the Seine River in the north of France, it boasts a population of over 2 million within the city limits and 12 million in the greater metropolitan area.
From the winding cobblestone streets of Montmartre to the grand Haussmannian boulevards, Paris seamlessly blends historical heritage with contemporary vitality. Visitors can marvel at the iron lattice of the Eiffel Tower, explore the world-class galleries of the Louvre, or enjoy a classic "café au lait" at a sidewalk bistro. Whether you are drawn to its romantic ambiance, its revolutionary history, or its cutting-edge design, Paris offers an unforgettable experience for every traveler.
