Paris – A Delightful City – Travel and Culture in France

Paris, the French capital encompasses the best of all the worlds, known and unknown to the human generation. Nietzsche rightly said, “An artist has no home in Europe, except in Paris”, for it is not only the Fashion capital of the world, but also a host to the various beautiful sculptures and monuments, with the Eiffel serving as the ultimate epitome of love.

There are so many reasons to visit this enchanting city that you cannot decide which one you are truly abiding by. Come here to attend the world class fashion shows, cheer on the cyclists in the Tour De France tournament, give your taste buds a delightful treat with the authentic French wine and cuisine, go about visiting the various buildings of architectural interest or if nothing else, then sit by the river and watch the people walk by in the early evenings.

For those who are perpetually on a shopping spree, Paris is a heaven as you get the best deals on branded clothes and accessories here. Elsewhere in the world, they are sold at colossal rates, under the tag “Made in Paris”. But in Paris, you can buy them at really affordable rates from the ships in Saint Ouen Flea Market and other flea markets. It’s a myth that the best is what you get in the boutiques and high street stores.

Food connoisseurs can experience the finest dining and restaurants in the country which offer delectable French delicacies like souffle, ratatouille, eclairs and do not under any circumstances forget to order the wines: Red, White or sparkling. And if you are really into fine drinking, then visit the towns of Champagne and Normandy and check out the world class wine cellars there.

To the lover of art, Paris as well the rest of the France have a good number of monuments, chapels, Museums and other architectural buildings that are reminiscent of the art of the era gone by, beginning the renaissance. It is here that you will get to see The Louvre, the abode of various renaissance paintings including The Mona Lisa and The Madonna of the Rocks. Even before entering the museum, you will be appalled by its pyramid shaped structure, glittering in a thousand lights. Then there is the Eiffel Tower, Cleopatra’s Needle, the Flame of liberty and much more.

Excelling shopping and dining, the luscious gardens and groves are an added incentive and add to the status of France being the most romantic destination of the world. It is said that in Paris “even the quarrels strengthen the love”. So visit this city to celebrate your love and savor the fine mood of the city.
