Paris, France’s capital, is a major European city and a global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture.

Its 19th-century cityscape is crisscrossed by wide boulevards and the River Seine.

Beyond such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower and the 12th-century, Gothic Notre-Dame cathedral,

the city is known for its cafe culture and designer boutiques along the Rue du Faubourg Saint-Honoré. ― Google
