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 boulevard 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-Honore.
The Eiffel Tower is a wrought iron lattice tower on the Champ de Mars in Paris, France. It is named after the engineer Gustave Eiffel, whose company designed and build the tower.

As a nation of food lovers – beloved for their bread, pastries, macarons and more – France is famous for its food. Unashamedly indulgent, Parisians are privy to patisseries, boulangeries and boucheries on every street corner, and as the cultural capital Paris boasts an abundant supply of foodie offerings. Whether you want frog legs or French fancies, fine dining or a relaxed affair, Paris will satisfy and satiate the fussiest of foodies.
The café culture in Paris is second to none. At the heart of both the social and culinary life in the French capital, the popularity of pavement cafes is world renowned, and with good reason. Having ingrained themselves in the way of life for many Parisians, a leisurely morning spent at one of the city’s many sidewalk cafés is among the finest common pleasures of Paris. Whether with friends or dining solo, sit back and enjoy a café-croissant while people watching; reading a book, or simply enjoying the alfresco atmosphere that Paris beholds.
