PARIS (FRANCE)

Whether you opt to explore the historic, fashion-conscious, bourgeois, or bohemian and arty sides of Paris one thing is certain the city of Light will always enthrall. If your Parisian fantasy involves staying in a historic hotel with the smell of fresh-baked croissants gently rousing you in the morning, here some good news, you need not to be Ritz-rich to realize it.With more than1, 450 hotels, the City of Light gives visitors stylish options in all price ranges of hotels from five stars to a 1 star hotel.
A new wave of culinary confidence has been running through one of the world’s great food cities and spilling over both banks of the Seine.Whether cooking up grand-mere’s roast chicken and riz au lait or placing a whimsical hat of cotton candy atop wild-strawberry-and-rose ice cream, Paris chefs have been breaking free from the tyranny of tradition and following their passions.
When you are in Paris you have to explore the best sights, entertainment and shopping with their top choices and insider tips. The best sights that you can see in Paris are Ancient Cloitre Quartier, Centre Pompidou and Eiffel Tower to name a few. When it comes to entertainment, you haven’t seen Paris until you have seen the city at night. Throngs fill popular streets and the air fills with the melody of French conversation and the clinking of glasses. Parisians love to savor life together, they dine out, drink endless espressos, offer innumerable toasts and are often so reluctant to separate that they party all night. Nothing can push you into the current of Paris life faster than a few hours of shopping. Follow the example of Parisians who slow to a crawl as their eyes lock on a tempting display. Window-shopping is one of the city’s greatest spectator sports; the French call it leche-vitrine-literally, “licking the windows”-which is fitting because many of the displays look good enough to eat. As to what to buy the sky is the limit in terms of choices.

If you want to go on a vacation, consider Paris one of the most hospitable cities in the world, and you will never regret spending your money and time there. (www.fodors.com>Home>Destinations>Europe)

  1. this indeed a great city, one article says "Throughout our survey, readers often referred to other cities as "the Paris of the east" or "the Paris of the south." And while the compliment is a nice one, to be sure, there's only one true Paris, and our readers cannot get enough of it. "Paris itself is just enchanting. I love its streets with the small shops; the trees and parks and flowers; the churches and the river and Notre Dame." They love the food, the history, the sights, the culture, the shopping, and the spectacular scenery. As one reader succinctly put it, "Paris is without competition."
