Paris Hotels
Paris is considered by many to be a romantic and enchanting city. Is there any wonder, then, why "The City of Lights" is one of the most desirable destinations for tourists from all around the world? Perhaps the fascination has to do with the beauty of the Seine River or the glory of the Eiffel Tower, which is often depicted in film and art. No matter, Paris has much to offer in the form of rich culture, European tradition and history, and modern flair.The city of Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements (or districts), which spiral away from the center of the city in a clockwise fashion. Visitors will experience high fashion, fine dining, and fabulous shopping along the Champs Elysees. Popular tourist destinations include climbing to the top of the Arc de Triomphe, visiting the Notre Dame Cathedral, and riding along the Seine. Art lovers surely consider Paris the epicenter of the world’s finest museums, including The Louvre, home to the Mona Lisa, and the Musee d'Orsay, which features famous impressionist art.
Paris is also known for its grand celebrations, as visitors in July who've enjoyed the Bastille Day fireworks will attest. And nearby, for those seeking a more relaxing stay, Paris is a convenient starting point for day trips outside of the city, such as a tour of Monet's house and gardens in Giverny and King Louis of France's royal residence at The Chateau of Versailles.
