The much loved French capital Paris is situated in
thenorthwestof France, hasa population of 15,000,000
and is a holiday location for tourists from all over the
worldMany holidaymakers go to Paris simply to see the
sights. The Eiffel Tower is a must. lf you venture to
the top, there is a breathtaking view of the city. The
Sacre-Coeur, a beautiful ancient cathedral, is also
worth a visit, whereas the Pompidou Centre, at the
opposite end of the scale, grves you a glimpse of
modern-day Parisian architecture.
However, activitiesuch as shopping should not
be overlooked. The Champs ElysOe has the latest in
top fashions. Although it tends to be a bit on the pricey
side, there are some good bargains to be found. At
night, you can either go to a quiet caf6 on the "terrace,"
or if you'd prefer something a little more outrageous,
a visit to the famous "Moulin Rouge".
Personally, I'd recommend Paris to anyone. lt has
a certarn magic about it that cannot be described
