Without a doubt 1t is the most beautiful city that I have ever seen. The planning is out standing. About eight avenues branch ott the Arc of Triumph and at the end of several of these avenues are the most beautiful gardens and parks you have ever seen. The streets are all the same width and kept immaculate ly The buildings are the same heiaht and the architecture is something to see.
 I visited the Grave of the Unknown Soldier, Napoleon's Tomb, Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Cham Der of Deputies, Law Courts, Citv Hall, Champs-Elysees, School of Fine Arts, Grand Calais and Yer sailles."
