Culture

We never stop discovering Paris as much as the capital of France is rich in monuments, museums and discoveries. Paris has a matchless artistic and cultural radiation all over the world. It's also the world capital of fashion and luxury. But Paris would not be Paris without its Eiffel Tower, its Champs-Elysées or its Gothic cathedral Notre-Dame. Outside walls, let us quote the Palace of Versailles and the district of La Defense, two sites which allow measuring the extent of the Parisian heritage of King Louis XIV. Strong of its prestigious history, the capital presents an exceptional concentration of treasures of art and culture, with 180 museums and monuments. If the fame of Paris is inseparable from the Louvre, the other museums suggest you in to make discoveries of the arts of the world, in particular the Guimet museum as well as the recent museum of Primitive arts...
