Paris Is …

… a magical city that will delight both old and new comers. The magic of Paris lies in its river, its bridges, its islands, its churches and monuments, as well as in the secluded squares and discreet courtyards… around every corner there is something to discover.

All contrasts - old and new, business and leisure, culture and shopping - combine in one uniquely dramatic perspective along the city's historical axis: from the Louvre museum, through the leafy Tuileries Gardens, straight along the ever-bustling Champs Elysées Avenue and on to the modern skyline and the Grande Arche in la Défense business district.

The dazzling elegance of Paris will capture the imagination of all who visit. One of the great cultural capitals, Paris is also known as the cradle of cinematography, the fashion capital where fashion designers from all over the world come to present their new collections and unquestionably the centre for culinary Arts, where chefs set global standards for culinary excellence.
