Bonjour and welcome to Paris! Paris has
long been a magnet for attracting artists, musicians, and
poets. Parisians are culturally enlightened and continue to
set new boundaries in fashion and the arts. Though Paris has
been occupied on occasions throughout history,
the city has never been destroyed by war. Therefore, much
of the city exists as it always has. Paris has as much if
not more to offer tourists then any other European city.
The panoramic view from the Basilique
du Sacre-Coeur gives you a sense of Paris’s timelessness.
Amongst hundreds of pigeons you’ll gaze in awe at the
never-ending clusters of limestone buildings. Paris is a world-class
city and its streets

You’ll observe Parisians fruitfully greeting one another
by kissing on both cheeks and gleeful pedestrians carrying
loafs of French bread. Experiencing French
culture is immensely gratifying.
The northern part of Paris, known as Montmartre, is especially
charming. Visiting Montmartre is like traveling back in time.
Van Gogh once lived here and the streets look very familiar
to the landscapes portrayed in his paintings. Local artists
work for hire in Montmartre’s center square and the
streets are lined with shops carrying everything from souvenirs
to wide selections of fabrics.
Paris has long been considered one of the world’s most
romantic cities. In the evenings, streetlights reflect off
the white limestone buildings radiating blues, pinks, and
purples. Cobblestone streets coupled with the illuminated
Eiffel Tower
in the city’s backdrop is categorically Paris.
Surveying the thousands of masterpieces housed at the Louvre
on its own is enough to keep anyone busy. However, Paris has
much more to offer tourists. Take the pilgrimage to Cathedrale
Notre-Dame and enjoy a stroll through some of Paris’
immaculately landscaped gardens. Afterwards, waste part of
the day people watching at one of the many cafés in
town. In the evening, visit one of the city’s celebrated
restaurants and taste the pâté. Afterwards, take
in a show at the famed Moulin Rouge. You’ll be hard
pressed not to keep busy while in Paris.
Paris is awe inspiring and eye opening. You’ll leave
Paris with a sense of enlightenment not soon to be forgotten.
