Paris
Paris is the capital and largest city of
France. The city is located in
the Île-de-France region on the river Seine and has
an estimated population of 2,153,600 as of
2005.
Paris is the most popular tourist destination and is visited by approximately 30 million
foreign tourists each year.
There are numerous places to see in place including
the Arc de Triomphe,
the Basilica of the Sacré Cœur,
the Champs-Elysées,
the Eiffel Tower,
the Grande Arche,
the Invalides,
the Louvre,
the Musée d'Orsay,
the Musée National d'Art Moderne,
Notre Dame cathedral,
the Opéra Garnier and
the Panthéon.
Additionally, another place you will want to see, especially if you have a family is Disneyland Resort
Paris. This is a holiday and recreation resort in Marne-la-Vallée, a new town suburb,
approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) from the center of the city. The resort includes:
- Two theme parks - Disneyland Park (the main Disney park, based on Disneyland California, with five
"lands" each based on a different theme or time period), and Walt Disney Studios Park
(a theme park based on film and how movies are made).
- An entertainment district - Disney Village - containing shops, bars and restaurants.
- Golf Disneyland - A Disney-themed golf course, principally for adult visitors
but also with a children's section.
- Seven Disney-owned hotels.
Paris is of course also a very important center of business, industry and government. The Paris region
produces approximately one quarter of France's GDP, and La Défense, which is the
largest purpose-built business district in Europe
contains the headquarters of many major French companies as well as 15 of the world's 100 largest
companies. Many international organizations including UNESCO, the ICC and the OECD, also have offices
in Paris.
