Lovers flock from all over the world for Paris' legendary romance. Wander the banks of the Seine, admire the paintings in the Louvre & enjoy what Paris is famous for: the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe & Notre Dame, not forgetting Chanel, Dior & YSL. Paris has long inspired opinionated outbursts, from delusional to denouncing, but on one matter travellers remain in agreement: it's among the most stimulating cities in the world. Cities with so many intact historic sites are rare. Monuments, museums, squares and gardens, in all their beauty, remind us of the extent to which Paris is and always has been in demand. It has been, at one and the same time, a theatre in which major events have been staged, an intellectual, political and economic reference point since its foundation and the residence of kings for several centuries: a city of the people and the middle classes, rich and poor, proud and sometimes treacherous, cosmopolitan yet insular. This cultural and sociological mix gives Paris an irresistible charm.
