Fall In Love with Paris, France

Paris is the most beautiful and also the most visited city in Europe. There are five main reasons why people fell in love with Paris and attracted to visit Paris. The first reason is because of its monuments and stunning old buildings. Paris is a mix of monumental architecture, iconic landmarks, and majestic boulevards. The glittering Eiffel Tower and The Arc de Triomphe at the end of the Champs-Elysees are the most enduring symbol of Paris which now boasts over 6 million visitors a year.

The second reason is because of its art and museums. Paris has the world’s largest museum, Musée de Louvre. Paris also has Musée d’Orsay, the home of such paintings by Monet, Renoir, and Van Gogh. From the world’s finest museum to some of the more obscure but no less worthy museums such as Musée Carnavalet, Paris has something for everyone.

The third reason is because of its churches. Paris has a lot of beautiful churches to choose from. There are St. Chapelle with its gothic architecture and the church of Sacre-Ceour with its great view of the city. Each church has stained glass, vaulted ceilings, flying buttresses, and giant organs which give mystical and magical feelings.

The fourth reason is because of its shops and flea markets. Paris is a paradise for shopping. People with deep pockets who look for fine things of any kind can buy whatever they like around Madeline and Opera. The best known item from Paris is fashion. World wide fashion brands such as Chanel, Hermes, and Dior are available at discounted prices.

The fifth reason is of course, its food. Paris is certainly a food lovers’ paradise. Paris is famous with its chocolates, cheeses, pastries, baguettes, croissant, truffles, and foie gras. La Maison du Chocolat is simply the most heavenly mouth watering chocolate on earth. Paris is truly a melting pot which not only blends all of the cuisines of the provinces of France in one city, but also world cuisines.
