Not many places all over the world may be compared with Paris - a city in which the air is filled with the scent of freshly baked croissants, with a gentle accordion tune playing in the background. There are not many other places where the world seems to be slowing down when you are enjoying a cup of strong espresso, and where all sights and sounds remind you why Paris is called a city of fashion and art. The French capital offers a seamless blend of history and modernity.

Mecca for art and exquisite cuisine enthusiasts

Paris is a true paradise for art lovers. The Louvre, Musée d’Orsay or the Centre Pompidou host some truly remarkable collections constituting the backbone of the world’s cultural heritage. Strolling in the alleyways of Paris, one may admire its rich architecture - from the Gothic Notre Dame cathedral to the Baroque Versaille Palace or the iconic Sacré-Cœur basilica. All quarters of the city - from Montmartre to Le Marais - are teeming with their unique history and atmosphere. The architecture of Paris is a testament to more than two thousand years of the city’s history. Each era has left its unique mark, contributing to a harmonious blend of styles that may be admired every step of the way. One cannot forget about the most renowned landmark of Paris - the Eiffel tower. The structure offers some spectacular views of the city that may be enjoyed from three different viewing decks. After dark, it offers a truly fascinating lighting show.

Paris is also a perfect destination for sophisticated cuisine enthusiasts. Visitors may enjoy exquisite restaurants with Michelin star ratings, and traditional boulangeries serving croissants, baguettes and delicious coffee. Tasting local wines, cheeses and other uniquely French delicacies is another item on the must-do list. Having indulged their palates, visitors may continue enjoying Paris by taking romantic walks on Champs-Élysées, in the Luxembourg Gardens or along the banks of the Seine.
