Paris - the heart of the French Republic on the banks of the Seine River
The capital of the French Republic and capital of the Île-de-France region is a mega-metropolis on the banks of the Seine and the fourth largest city in the European Union.
The city offers many great attractions and sights such as the Eiffel Tower, the Musée du Louvre, the Avenue des Champs-Élysées or the Notre-Dame Cathedral.
Today's Paris developed since the 3rd century BC from the Celtic settlement "Lutetia" on the Île de la Cité. Throughout its history, the city became the center and main residence of the Frankish Empire. Paris experienced a heyday of art and culture in the 16th century under Francis I.

Culture and city travelers will find around 160 museums, 200 art galleries, 100 theaters and more than 10,000 restaurants in the Seine metropolis - what remains is an impressive experience.
In the heart of Paris, you'll also find gorgeous city hotels and charming accommodations. Since the core city of Paris is relatively small in comparison, many sights are quickly and easily accessible on foot or by bike.
