Come for a visit to Paris France, the City of Lights, where the dance of art and romance, history and culture continues as usual for this most cosmopolitan of destinations. Including two islands and 20 sections known as arrondissements, Paris is an enormous city that’s difficult to explore even on an extended visit. All year long, tourists flock to this city of 11 million to see its world-famous sights, stand in line for the Mona Lisa and shop, shop, shop to their hearts content in one of the world’s most celebrated fashion centres.

Languages
One of the five Romance languages, French draws from deep Latin origins. When it is spoken in Paris, it can be hard to grasp, thanks to speed and cut off endings. Yet, with so many tourists pouring into the city, English is just as important – and used, regardless of any persistent rumours to the contrary. When in doubt, look to the younger crowd for help or just bite your lip and use that high school French.
See and Do
Book well enough in advance or pick up a last minute deal for cheap tickets to Paris. And with so many to choose from, you’re bound to find a cheap hotel in Paris as well. Location can be important, however, as the city is quite large and it is recommended to rent a car in Paris for getting about. That being said, there is so much to see and do in Paris, you may be a bit bowled over. There are the famous landmarks: the strikingly lit Eiffel Tower, that prime symbol of the city at night. Or the enormous Louvre museum, where tourists put their eyes on one of the world’s finest collection of artwork. Then incredible Notre Dame Cathedral (whose gargoyles are still and silent – usually). Or the antiquity and charm of the Latin Quarter, especially at the bathhouses. But Paris is a city for wandering and losing one’s way in the many diverse neighbourhoods or along the beautiful Seine river, sitting with the painters at a street-side café and enjoying an espresso (while the occasional rain shower passes) or going with purpose down Place de la Concorde or Place de Bastille for all the shopping you can manage
