Welcome to the City of Light. From the awe-inspiring Notre-Dame and Sacre-Coeur, to the chic Champs Elysee and the bohemian Left Bank, there’s plenty to stir the passions in Paris.

City of romance, city of chic, city of light. Not content with having more than its fair share of postcard icons, the city has the sort of random beauty that stops visitors in their tracks.

You want culture? Count on an impressive array of world class museums and cultural events to which scarcely a season goes by without some new addition. Yet, for all that, you’ll still find Paris a touch less frenetic than other major world capitals.

With its street corner carrousels, open-air cafes and traditional markets, this is a city that has never quite shaken off its Old Europe pace. In short, it’s a delight to explore, which goes some way to explaining why it continues to be one of the world’s most visited cities.
