Paris
is the capital city of France. Situ- ated on the banks
of the river Seine in north-central France, it is also
the capital of the Île-de-France région (also known as
"Paris Region"), which encompasses Paris and its
suburbs. Paris is a leading cultural, business and
political centre and has an influence in fashion,
gastronomy and the arts. Paris is famed throughout the
world for the beauty and variety of its monuments.
Towers, churches, palaces, archways, bridges or
fountains… an extraordinary collection of landmarks that
transports us back in time. Of course, Paris wouldn’t be
Paris without the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe,
Notre Dame or Sacré Coeur. And each evening a special
magic takes over the city when all these splendid
constructions are illuminated! A sense of romance along
the Pont Neuf, a shiver in the catacombs or an exotic
mood at the Mosque:
Paris
is also a mix of atmospheres and cultures. From the
must-see to the more unusual, all these monuments relate
two thousand years of the capital’s history. A total of
276 monuments, hotels, churches, fountains, bridges and
canals light up in Paris every night. Get the best out
of this beauty treatment for these magnificent
structures with a magical tour of Paris starting with
the Eiffel Tower, undisputed queen of the illuminations.
