FRANCE Welcome to Paris Facebook Twitter City description History or romance? Culture or couture? Gastronomy or bohemia? There are a thousand and one different ways of approaching the French capital, which shows its different faces without batting an eyelid. As Balzac said, “Paris is a veritable ocean. Take as many soundings as you like, you will never know its depths”. Aloof, classic, with a hint of rebellion, classy with a touch of irreverence, the City of Light boasts countless highlights and only fully opens up to visitors who take their time here. City of Lights, did you say? Paris was given this nickname in the 17th century, when visitors marvelled at its dense public lighting that was ahead of its time, as well as the presence of lanterns in residents’ windows. Whether it's an unmissable example of its secular heritage or a recently opened attraction, the sites you can explore along the city’s typical streets bear witness to an unfailing richness and vibrancy. Fashion Week, the Roland Garros French tennis open, the Art Paris Art Fair, the Foire de Paris… in this city, fashion, sport and design as well as architecture, literature and haute-cuisine have found the perfect home.
