Description
The cosmopolitan city of Paris goes by many names - City of Light, City of Love, City of Art. Each of the 20 arrondissements has its own unique personality to make up the cultural grandeur that France is known for. Every corner of Paris is full of history, from the famous Eiffel Tower to the lamplit bridges spanning the Siene, but despite initial appearances, Paris’ cityscape is also wonderfully modern, with industrial-style buildings and vertical gardens. The dining in Paris is iconic – in fact, the word “cuisine” is French for “kitchen.” Every restaurant, patisserie, bakery, and cheese shop prides itself on exquisite preparation and presentation of their dishes, and will invariably suggest a wine pairing to accompany the meal. Paris has an illustrious artistic pedigree, and has served as inspiration for countless artists throughout history, including Renoir, Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Dalí and Van Gogh, and many more. It’s easy to see why, with such a vibrant culture and glorious backdrops. The opulence of Parisian lifestyle is unmatched anywhere else in the world.
