The Ultimate Guide to Paris

There are many draws for the fifteen million people that travel to France's historic capital every year. From joining the exclusive club of people who have gazed from the Eiffel Tower, to marvelling at the history of the Louvre, to wandering the lesser known streets and historic lane ways where the locals seem to make the daily grind more of an art form than a lifestyle - Paris has magic in every corner.



Paris breathes such life that an example might be found in the rustic area of Pigalle where the spirit of famous painters can still be found in the many street artists who will paint your portrait almost as if it were two hundred years ago. And as whimsical as that sounds, that's no more difficult in modern day Paris than taking the metro. Culture you see, has it's modern day conveniences too.



This guide to Paris includes a smaller than usual hand-picked selection of fabulously friendly hotels, shopping places and landmark sites.
