About Paris, France
Paris is the capital of France, with a population of 12 million people in its greater metropolitan area. Famed for its classical architecture, high fashion, and rich gastronomy, Paris is also home to a vibrant tech scene and many dynamic initiatives (such as Vélib bike share and Autolib electric cars, usable by visitors).
Although winters are cold and summers are hot, autumn is cool and relatively temperate – a beautiful time to visit Paris and take in the changing scenery. The Seine river cuts a horizontal swathe through the middle of the city, giving rise to the famed Left Bank to the south and the accessible Left Bank to the north. The city’s sights are connected by an elaborate transit system, wherein just about everything is easily reached by metro.
The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, Sacré Coeur, the Louvre – these are just a small sampling of monuments to take in while in Paris, not to mention all of the superb restaurants, cafés and entertainments the city has to offer. You may even want to build a holiday around your visit to JS.everywhere(2012) Europe!
While it’s helpful to speak French while in Paris, it’s not necessary – many Parisians are bilingual and information stands are available throughout the city. The official Paris Convention and Visitors Bureau has plenty of information, as does the City of Paris’ own Web site.
