Welcome to Paris

We never finish discovering Paris since the capital of France is rich in monuments, museums and discoveries.

Nestled in a loop of the Seine, in the center of the Parisian basin, the City of Light has an unparalleled artistic and cultural influence throughout the world.The wealth of its heritage has made Paris a capital of yesterday and today.With its prestigious history, the capital presents an exceptional concentration of treasures of art and culture, with 180 museums and monuments.

The worldwide fame of Paris is also linked to the beauty and number of its monuments, some of which have become emblematic of the city: the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre-Dame and the Sacré-Coeur.

Each district of the city has its own architectural treasures: towers, churches, palaces, arches, bridges or fountains are the witnesses of 2,000 years of history.
