Paris is the capital and largest city in France. City is situated on the river Siene. The city of Parise have 2,193,031 population, but the metropolian area have 11,836,970 and is one of the most populated metropolian areas in Europe.
Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower – at sunrise, at sunset, at night – have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the grandness and even the magic.
If you come in Paris, you must see Louvre Museum, and there you can see what is so fascinating in the Mona Lisa's smile. In the first week in the month entrance is free. If you prefer modern art go to National Centre for Arts and Culture Georges Pompidou. More than 3,000 acts by Picasso is located in the museum dedicated to the best-known Cubists.
In the museum d'Orsay you will find acts of Impressionist and Postimpressionist. If you are interested how looks a real bohemian life go up to the hill Montmartre, where many famous artists lived and worked.
How is looked glamorous life of French kings, you will find out if you go to Palace of Versailles. Versailles is far from Paris about 20 km, and you can reach using public transport.
About the Gothic cathedral of Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower we don't need speak much as well as the Arc de Triomphe which is devoted to Napoleon's victories.
