3 General Information Known throughout the world as the City of Light, Paris, the capital of France, is celebrated for its beautiful boulevards, inspiring monuments, impressive works of art, delicious French cuisine and elegant couture. Paris was founded more than 2,000 years ago. It was initially in the middle of the River Seine, the Ile de la Cite, but quickly spread to both banks of the river, the rive droit (right bank) and the rive gauche (left bank). The right bank is known for being the commercial heart of the city while the left bank is home to the University of Paris and all that is intellectual and arty. Paris has always been known to have the aura of romance and mystery and has been the setting for many novels and movies. Millions of people visit Paris every year; and with so much sightseeing, culture and romance to experience, your stay will no doubt leave you longing to return. The attractions in Paris are endless. Cutting a line through the city, starting at the Place de la Concorde, the Champs Élysées is one of the grandest avenues in the world. Its broad tree-lined boulevard packed with gorgeous architecture, great shopping and fabulous restaurants runs straight through all the way to the Arc de Triomphe. To describe the Eiffel Tower as the most iconic feature of the Parisian skyline would somehow still be an understatement. A lift services the viewing platforms which show the nuts and bolts of just how incredible an achievement this construction is, as well as offering spectacular views across this stunning city. At the very top, it is said that the platform feels like it is swaying underfoot in the wind. Still widely admired as the bohemian hub of Paris, Montmartre is home to the stunning, white-domed Basilica of Sacré Cœur, standing proudly on the highest point of Montmartre hill. Famous artists such as Salvador Dalí, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent van Gogh all had studios in this quaint area of Paris. Situated next to the River Seine, in the picturesque fourth arrondissement of Paris, is one of the world s most famous gothic cathedrals of all time Notre Dame. Meaning Our Lady, this breath taking building is widely praised as one of the finest examples of French gothic architecture ever built. Sightseeing in Paris is as much about famous monuments as it is about the everyday hum of the cafes and bookstores. The panache of Paris at street-level is breath taking and it is little wonder that Audrey Hepburn once mused that Paris is always a good idea.
