Why Paris?
Paris is France's elegant capital, where it is easy to fall for its mix of romance and everyday charm.
Spend your days at the Louvre and along the Seine, then climb Montmartre for sunset views. Evenings are made for café terraces and bistros. Versailles makes an easy day trip, and the Eiffel Tower lights up the skyline after dark.
