With a rich heritage in culture and history, the French capital was originally a small village located on the Cité island, which gradually developed on both sides of the Seine river. Today, Paris is world-famous for its monuments, buildings and striking museums but also for its magnificent districts all very different from each other, its Parisian breweries and its old typical cafes, its gourmet restaurants, its operas and theaters, its shops offering inconceivable choice, and its creativity with "Haute-Couture".
