Paris



So now my next destination is Paris. I go there to my friend who is currently living in Paris. Paris is the capital and primate city of France. Paris is today one of the world's leading business and cultural centres.
In Paris is many attractive places to visit. First of all when You are in Paris You have to see the Eiffel Tower. Besides it Paris has beautiful panorama and architecture of city. Much of contemporary Paris is the result of the vast mid-nineteenth urban remodelling. Most of this 'new' Paris is the Paris we see today. The building code has seen few changes since, and the Second Empire plans are in many cases still followed. A building's height is limited according to the width of the streets it lines, is difficult to get an approval to build a taller building.

Monuments and Landmarks
Three of the most famous Parisian landmarks are the twelfth-century cathedral Notre Dame de Paris, the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe and the nineteenth-century Eiffel Tower.

Parks and Gardens
Two of Paris' oldest and famous gardens are the Tuileries Garden, created in the 16th century for a palace on the banks of the Seine near the Louvre, and the Left bank Luxembourg Garden, another former private garden belonging to a château. The Jardin des Plantes, created by Louis XIII's doctor Guy de la Brosse for the cultivation of medicinal plants, was Paris' first public garden.

Entertainment and performing arts
Paris' largest opera houses are the nineteenth-century Opéra Garnier (historical Paris Opéra) and modern Opéra Bastille; the former tends towards the more classic ballets and operas, and the latter provides a mixed repertoire of classic and modern.
