Welcome to the fabled “City of Lights” or “City of Love”. Paris is certainly both and has always been considered as the most romantic place in the world. Whether you are an artist, a businessman or simply a tourist, coming with your beloved or your relatives, you will enjoy long walks from Montmartre to the Quartier Latin. Going through some of the finest Roman and medieval monuments, sooner or later you will end up at a cafe, standing on the Pont Neuf Bridge, or exploring a vintage fashion shop in the Marais district.
