Travel Paris, France


Last 5th of June from Paris, Charles de Gaulle International Airport our flight back to Hong Kong was cancelled and we were booked to the nearest hotel at exactly 1:30. Our flight was re-scheduled at 17:00 and we took this opportunity to visit some of the most beautiful places in Paris like the Eiffel Tower, Louvre Palace, Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe, 12th Century Cathedral Notre Dame de Paris and many more.
Below are some of the basic information of Paris taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paris.
Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is also the capital of the region Île-de-France that, encompassing Paris and its suburbs, represents France's most dynamic centre of economic activity. Paris is a leading global cultural, business and political center and is renowned for its defining neo-classical architecture as well as its role as a major international influence in fashion, gastronomy and the arts. It is widely regarded as one of the world's major global cities. Dubbed "the City of Light" (la Ville Lumière) since the 19th century, Paris has a reputation as a "romantic" city.
