Posted by Yuka as Hot Cities

Paris is Europe’s largest city, is the world’s most prosperous city, one. 2,300,000 of the population,An area of 105 square kilometers, it’s a mild maritime climate, with summer heat and winter cold without;

Eiffel Tower
This towering edifice was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, it stands 320m (1050ft) high and held the record as the world’s tallest structure until 1930.

Musée du Louvre
Louvre is probably one of the most world-renowned sightseeing places in Paris. This enormous building, constructed around 1200 as a fortress and rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, began its career as a public museum in 1793. As part of Mitterand’s grands projets in the 1980s, the Louvre was revamped with the addition of a 21m (67ft) glass pyramid entrance.the rooms full of paintings, sculptures and antiquities, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory (which looks like it’s been dropped and put back together).

Notre Dame de Paris
The city’s cathedral ranks as one of the greatest achievements of Gothic architecture. Notre Dame was begun in 1163 and completed around 1345; the massive interior can accommodate over 6000 worshippers. Although Notre Dame is regarded as a sublime architectural achievement, there are all sorts of minor anomalies as the French love nothing better than to mess with things. These include a trio of main entrances that are each shaped differently . The interior is dominated by spectacular and enormous rose windows, and a 7800-pipe organ.

I like Paris is not only that it is synonymous with romance, but it’s all perfume, flowers of all, the fashion capital of the known.
Paris fascinating cultural background, natural scenery, it’s one of the places I’d like to go.
