"The City of Light" has been written about, filmed and photographed countless times. Although it seems as if we all know Paris even before we see it, nothing compares to actually being there. The experience of going up the Eiffel Tower, walking along the Seine at dusk or sipping coffee at an elegant sidewalk cafe are uniquely Parisian experiences -- and they are nothing like they are portrayed in movies. Whether you're in Paris for work or for fun, follow the Parisians' lead and enjoy yourself in this city that offers something special for everyone. For the art lover, the Musee d'Orsay and the Louvre offer priceless collections, and the designer shops of the Rue du Faubourg St.-Honore tempt the serious shopper. And, for anyone who enjoys food, Paris' restaurants, from inexpensive neighborhood bistros to the most refined and elegant gourmet restaurant, promise wonderful meals.
