Description
France’s capital is a fascinating city full of cafés, museums, and theatres that provide its visitors with enough activities and sites to see for a lifetime. Often considered as a separate entity from the rest of France, this bustling city offers many opportunities to experience the essence of France and the French culture of the provinces, while maintaining a very cosmopolitan atmosphere. In and around Paris, magnificent examples of Romanesque and Gothic art and architecture can be found, all of which help tell the story of France’s rich history.
