Paris has long inspired opinionated outbursts, from delusional to denouncing, but on one matter travelers remain in agreement: it's among the most stimulating cities in the world. Paris assaults all the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelt. from luminescent landmarks to fresh poodle droppings on the pavement, the city is everything it should be - the very essence of all French things. If you come here expecting all you've heard to be true, you won't leave disappointed.
Paris is at its best during the temperate spring months (March to May), with autumn coming in a close second. In winter, there are all sorts of cultural events to tempt the visitor, but school holidays can clog the streets with the little folk. August is usually hot and sticky, and it's also when many Parisians take their yearly vacations, so businesses are likely to be closed.
Musée du Louvre
Louvre is probably one of the most world-renowned sightseeing places in Paris. This enormous building, constructed around 1200 as a fortress and rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, began its career as a public museum in 1793. As part of Mitterand's grands projets in the 1980s, the Louvre was revamped with the addition of a 21m (67ft) glass pyramid entrance. Initially deemed a failure, the new design has since won over those who regard consistency as inexcusably boring. Vast scrums of people puff and pant through the rooms full of paintings, sculptures and antiquities, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory (which looks like it's been dropped and put back together). If the clamor becomes unbearable, your best bet is to pick a period or section of the Louvre and pretend that the rest is somewhere across town.
Eiffel Tower
This towering edifice was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, it stands 320m (1050ft) high and held the record as the world's tallest structure until 1930. Initially opposed by the city's artistic and literary elite - who were only affirming their right to disagree with everything - the tower was almost torn down in 1909. Salvation came when it proved an ideal platform for the antennas needed for the new science of radio telegraphy. When you're done peering upwards through the girders, you can visit any of the three public levels, which can be accessed by lift or stairs. Just south-east of the tower is a grassy expanse that was once the site of the world's first balloon flights and is now used by teens as a skateboarding arena or by activists bad-mouthing Chirac.
Paris seems to have always been a dream city. In the official web site, it is called "the city of light", the light in the western mind has always been an incarnation of god, perhaps Paris man think himself to be nearer to god. It is no wonder that xu zhimo was lamented: "must have been to Paris won't rare heaven." Also some people call it "Babylon", that is the American writer Fitzgerald's novel "the return to the king of Babylon," call of Paris -- a dream only luxury and pleasure. Perhaps no one can tell what is a city in Paris, but everyone is convinced that they spent in Paris is life the most unforgettable day.
Most visitors look forward to in our hearts, is an ancient and romantic Paris, the champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, along the Louvre, the arc DE triomphe perfect central axis began their trip. Indeed, Paris is a city of great history, places of interest here are enough to make people linger. With these classic sites and another in Paris, a full of the flavor of halfback and Bohemian Paris.
As long as ride the subway in Paris, can clearly feel that. Paris metro has a long history, some station has intact the original style, it looks like an antique museum, and some of the station is full of futuristic, like a science fiction world, such as la defence underground station. From a station on the ground, standing in front of you is the world's unique exaggeration of "new" arc DE triomphe. In fact this is a can accommodate 5000 people, office building, its uniqueness is the can put the Notre Dame DE Paris in the door. It is interesting to note that the new is in the Louvre arc DE triomphe, champs elysees, place DE la Concorde, the central axis, arc DE triomphe wickedly from the arc DE triomphe, ambition is to break the perfect harmony.
So "renegade" by no means the only building in Paris. If the Louvre represents the ancient civilization of France, the pompidou center is a symbol of modern Paris. Here is the palace of avant-garde art, exhibited since the 20th century western various style of art. And the design of the center itself is also gives people a strong visual impact of the avant-garde
Architectural art. All the columns, stair, pipeline and so on used to deliberately hiding things are on the outside, the whole building seemed to be colorful pipe and reinforced with chemical factory. When the "monster" also had a criticism, but now it has with other classical architecture of Paris.
City of Paris is perhaps the most popular with foreigner, it almost became the "mecca" of literature and art, how many world famous artists and writers live here? Still asked how many haven't been to Paris, calculation easier that way. After the middle of the 19th century, Paris is became an exile of the city. Here have a relaxed political atmosphere, students, scholars, artists of the counter culture trend, the so-called culture, so people choose to Paris to stray. 20 and 30 s of the 20th century, Paris brought together so many American writers, including Hemingway, Fitzgerald. This group of young people longing for a better life is impact of world war I have nowhere to hide, they can not stand, escape, they need to be artistic atmosphere, because they will continue to make a living by writing, at the same time they also can't throw senses and material comforts, they need to coffee, and need a woman
Wine, need to dance, and they escaped to Paris. Their only choice is Paris, also seems to be only Paris can tolerate this group has lucid, occasionally drunk young people. They are just passers-by in Paris, but it left a deep imprint in here. They let Paris eternal moment, also part of your life will always stay in Paris. Walk on the river Seine, sitting on the sidewalk cafes, a foreigner may understand the light blue and the city of Paris street complex. Here in the last century a "lost generation" left too many stray and sentimental, lingering until today. Walking in Paris when you never know what will leave it a little longer in the memory, is the arc DE triomphe or afternoon in an outdoor cafe for a cup of coffee.
"Paris is more than a place, it has become a state of mind." No matter who you are, can be in the nostalgia and halfback, both quiet and noisy, internationalization and localization of the city to find your need a dose of antidote to the soul. In this sense, is best suited to foreigner stay in Paris. Appreciate the Mona Lisa, you can go to the Louvre also can go to the centre pompidou see Picasso. You can go to the Paris opera, also can go to the moulin rouge on the champs elysees; You can come to Paris to escape life, also can simply enjoy life here.
In fact, Paris everywhere all over the world. Perhaps you have never been to Paris, but you're probably in the city of your life a cafe called "left bank" linger; You don't have to out, you can enjoy from Paris (or claims) from Paris fashion products, can feel the "spring" in Paris. But when are you going to take a trip to Paris really?

Everyone's heart has a built in fantasy of Paris, may be the atypical "Notre Dame DE Paris" romantic, maybe it's "human comedy" latter-day flashy. Everyone who has been to Paris to evaluate different, some people say it cold, some people say that it is expensive, some say it chaos. But there is one word always are in Paris, that is: vogue. More than one hundred years ago, people in Paris is proud to walk on the champs elysees, led the European way. In this article along the avenue, dotted with these names: the place DE la Concorde, the arc DE triomphe, the Louvre, Notre Dame DE Paris......
On the perfect axis extension, stood a completely different, modern Paris: skyscrapers, glass curtain wall, rush around financiers, like every modern city in the world. Really? It is a model as the arch of the building, and has been dubbed the "la defense, the arc DE triomphe" name. The pride of the Paris people will never forget yesterday, maybe because of this, to always stand in the forefront of fashion in Paris.
Feel about Paris fashion's ankles should be a shopping crazy. They knew all about fashion trends, eyes sharp, both quick and accurate. Maybe only have so many senior department store in Paris, so many famous brand stores, can satisfy their unremitting pursuit of fashion.
Paris presents different features in different people's eyes, if you want to know what she will be how to smile to you, let's go to visit her.
