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.

Our Paris guide will lead you through the most famous landmarks as well as the more intimate sites. The Louvre, Musee D'Orsay, Malmaison, L'Orangerie, Versailles and the Musee Marmottan are just a few of the many highlights. Follow the historic trails of some of the most notable French figures. You'll shadow the steps of Marie Antoinette; from celebrated Queen to the grisly guillotine. The Empire comes to life as you retrace the paths of the powerful Napoleon and his beloved Josephine. You'll be "impressed" as you follow the artistic trails of Monet, Degas, Renoir, Van Gogh and Manet throughout all the top museums. Our insider tips on markets, shopping, river cruises, safety and traveling around Paris are simply invaluable. Our recommended booklist offers insight into the history and culture of France. Sandra Gulland author of the Josephine B Trilogy praises You Go Girl Paris, "I love the You Go Girl guide for Paris! It makes me want to be there now. I've been to Paris countless times - it is my favorite city - yet this very readable guide opened my eyes to new things. Plus, the authors mentioned a number of my tried-and-true favorites. Bravo! And - need I say? - bon voyage."
