About Paris
Paris has a reputation for being one of the most romantic cities in the world, and has been one of the most popular overseas destinations for UK travellers for hundreds of years. Paris has enough history and architecture to keep visitors interested for a week or more, and is a place where you can see an iconic sight or instantly recognisable building along every street.
Paris’ most famous attraction is undoubtedly the elegant Eifel Tower. Built to celebrate the 1889 Worlds Fair, the iconic structure has become the symbol of the city. Some 324m tall – about the height of an 80 storey building, The Eifel Tower is instantly recognisable, and more than 120 years after its original construction is still the most popular attraction in the whole city with millions of people queuing to ascend it for the stunning views every day.
Paris’ long heritage is celebrated in its architecture with buildings dating from all ages of the history of the city. From the stunning Notre Dame Cathedral to the eye catching San Sulpice Church, Paris has one of the best collections of religious buildings in the world, and when you also consider the famous Louvre gallery where you can see the legendary Mona Lisa, you have a cultural capital for Europe with plenty to enjoy.
Paris main shopping area is along the Champs d’Elysee where you can find most of the most famous brands and designer labels.
If you hire a car in Paris, you also open up the surrounding area which you can explore at your own pace. The Palace of Versailles is the most opulent royal palace in Europe. It was built at the heights of the excesses of the French royal family, and boasts a stunning art and sculpture collection, sumptuous rooms and fabulous gardens.
More modern attractions are available to the north of Paris at the Disneyland Paris resort. Since 1992, the theme park has developed into being one of Europe’s primary tourism destinations attracting families from all over the world with its mix of American charm and European flair.
