Panoramic view of Paris at dusk

Who hasn't daydreamed about traveling to la ville-lumière, the city of light? I know I've imagined myself sitting in a quaint café and sipping on hot chocolate on a cold winter night. Going to Paris means gazing up at the Eiffel Tower, visiting the famous Louvre, and strolling through the gardens of the Palace of Versailles. Authentic crème brûlée, crêpes, and all sorts of French desserts would be available at every street corner...

Paris is filled with many historic landmarks, modern attractions, and museums. The Eiffel Tower, also known as the "iron lady," was completed in 1889. Since then it has become an iconic landmark and a symbol of ingenuity, progress, romance and beauty. Throughout the city of Paris, there is also a series of fifty public drinking fountains named the Wallace Fountains. These small, picturesque fountains have become an important part of the Parisian landscape. And, of course, there is the famous Musée du Louvre. The Louvre is one of the world's largest museums, the world's most visited art gallery, and a historic monument. This museum houses some of the world's most famous masterpieces, such as Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa and Eugene Delacroix's Liberty Leading the People. In addition to the Eiffel Tower, the Wallace Fountains, the Louvre, there are so many more fascinating places to visit in Paris, including the Cathedral of Notre Dame, the Tuileries Garden, and the Place de la Concorde, the Grand Palais, the National Museum of Natural History, and the Arc de Triomphe.

"What an immense impression Paris made upon me. It is the most extraordinary place in the world!" -Charles Dickens
