THE HISTORICAL HOTSPOT FRANCE ALTHOUGH A PLACE OF CREAM-FILLED CAFES AND BOISTEROUS BOULEVARDS, come and see Paris and it will add and improve your knowledge of the French culture and lifestyle.
The gigantic iron lattice tower in the middle of the Champ de Mars in Paris towers above the entire city, surrounded by forests of happily dancing green trees. The Eiffel Tower, this palatial podium has been attracting foreigners for centuries, beautifully demonstrating the combination between architecture and art. France's most iconic landmark. It could be argued that this sparked the rise for Paris' mission for fashion, art and cultural dominance of Europe. Attraction, attraction, attraction, the three-floor column is like a lantern that draws in swarms of tourists, journalists and photographers. At night he tower exemplifies Paris' acclaimed title of ''The City of Lights'' as it beautifully intensifies the whole city. A bombardment of light, colour, grandeur, creating an atmosphere of awe and amazement -without a doubt something spectacular to observe.
Dissimilar to most French cities, Paris did not just stop when it peaked. It's lasting relationship with modern culture has helped its transformation into a truly prospering city with cosmopolitan tastes, top-end fashion stores, massive media management offices, and exquisite art galleries that add to the je ne sais pas which makes Paris world-class. However, not entirely their only claim of independence, Paris has a hunger for business. As France's financial epicentre, patisserie heaven, fashion, television, entertainment, and corporate playground.
If you're interested in "the best known, the most visited, the most written about, the most sung about, the most parodied work of art in the world", then The Louvre is an unmissable piece of history, famed as the world's most famous museum. Here you can admire the armless beauty Venus de Milo, simple yet extraordinary; a sculptural masterpiece by Alexandros of Antioch, arguably 'one of the greatest works of ancient Greek sculpture'. The Picasso Museum and the National Museum of Modern Art are but two others that rank among the country's finest. To get a glimpse of the most revolutionary piece of artwork revisit the Louvre and there amidst the greatest creative concoctions of all time, Leonardo Da Vinci's La Jaconde - more commonly known as Mona Lisa - illuminates the museum's Salle des États behind bulletproof glass.
Its hard to deny Paris its reputation as the World's most beautiful city. The Bois de Vincennes in the east and the Bois de Boulogne in the west truly epitomise this acclamation. The Bois de Vincennes was created between 1855-66 by the Emperor Louis Napoleon and to this day it still holds historical importance to Paris, and even France as a whole. The Chateau de Vincennes is located within it's vicinity - a former residence of the Kings of France. Sometime in the afternoon, however, if in need of a picnic or chilled couples outing then the Parc Floral located inside the Bois de Vincennes is a perfect place to rendezvous; the walk alongside the river Seine is a couples' personal commodity. The 'Temple of Love' is secludedly situated on the cliffs of the 'Lac Daumesnul', a romantic haven, hidden deep within the park's forests. Families can enjoy this park too as it doubles as an amusement park with a zoo attached (closed for renovation to 2014 unfortunately).
