The City of Lights

Paris is a city with a distinct international flavor. Called the city for lovers it certainly beckons with a romanticism all its own. It is also know as the City of Lights and after a view of Paris at night, you will understand why. It sparkles and twinkles beneath the night sky like the bright jewel she is in the crown of Europe.

Home of Artists
Even today artists flood the streets of Paris. Beginners, talented, those with no talent at all, it does not matter; they come to Paris to live and work and walk the same streets the Masters walked years before them.

Does it matter if you are struggling to sell a picture if you can sit at the same table Picasso did? Or caress a piece of furniture Renoir rested his gifted hands upon? Not for those whose life blood is Art.

If you are not an artist but simply a lover of art this is the place for you as well. Museums overflow with the exquisite works of the likes of Van Gogh, Renoir, Monet and Degas. Whether your taste in art runs to the more conservative or the slightly bizarre, you will find a gallery to enjoy.

History Lover
If history and antiquities are what you enjoy spending your hours searching out then you may never leave Paris. Cobbled streets from as long ago as the days of the Roman Empire can still be trod upon by common man. Sculptures and the baths from this time exist as well.

Paris is steeped in all things Medieval. Magnificent buildings such as Notre Dame and the Louvre are wonderful examples of architecture during the Middle Ages. Kings and Queens built and tore down palaces and churches throughout the ages and superb artifacts are on display that remained, long after the men and women who wore the crowns were gone.

Paintings, furniture, sculptures and medieval tapestries that are so shimmering in beauty you can scarcely believe they were made by mortal hands reside in the museum in Paris.

The Louvre
The Louvre itself is reason enough to visit Paris and spend a week. Objets d’Art, not only from Europe but the world over adorn the halls of what was once a simple fortress but became the stunning palace that it is today.

Magnificent Structures
And what would Paris be without the Eiffel Tower, the Arch of Triumph or the beautiful gardens surrounding the Champs Elysees? These magnificent structures share their space in this wonderful city along with breathtaking buildings like Notre Dame.

Areas of Diversity
Walking through Paris is like walking through a cultural wonderland. Montmarte, La Marais and the Latin Quarter are all areas in Paris that contain their own special charm. Outdoor markets, lesser known museums and local lore make each area a place of interest.

You could spend days on end absorbing the scintillating atmosphere and wondrous treasures that are Paris and never get your fill of what it has to offer.
