Paris La France

Ratianda´s correspondent from The Netherlands and her husband went to Paris in France. Paris. The most romantic city to visit? Yes it is! The perfect city to visit during your wedding anniversary? Yes it is!

Paris (nicknamed the City of light) is the capital city of France, and the largest city there. Around 2,15 million people live there. If you include the suburbs, the population of Paris rises to 12 million people.

The Seine river runs through the oldest part of Paris, and divides it into two parts, known as the Left Bank (Yves Saint Laurant´s Rive Gauche) and the Right Bank. 

Paris is also the centre of French economy, politics, traffic and culture. Paris has many art museums and historical buildings. As a traffic centre, Paris has a very good underground subway system, airports and stations. The Metro was built in 1900, and its total length is more than 200 km.

The city has a multi-cultural style, because 20% of the people there are from outside France. There are many different restaurants with all kinds of food.

The most famous buildings in Paris are the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, and The Louvre.

Ratianda´s correspondent from The Netherlands truly recommends everybody to visit the beautiful city Paris at least once in their live. It is a truly stunning experience.
