Paris is the capital of France and one of the world’s most visited and influential cities, celebrated globally as the “City of Light” and the “City of Love.” It is a metropolis of immense cultural density, divided by the Seine River into the Right Bank (traditionally associated with commerce) and the Left Bank (associated with arts and education). The city’s landscape is defined by the 19th-century Haussmann renovation, which created the iconic wide boulevards and creamy limestone apartment buildings with slate grey roofs. Beyond the legendary landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, and Notre-Dame, Paris is a city of distinct neighborhoods (arrondissements), from the artistic hilltop village of Montmartre to the historic Latin Quarter and the trendy Marais. It is the epicenter of global fashion, luxury goods, and high culture, while its convention centers (like Le Bourget and Villepinte) serve as the major business crossroads for all of Europe
