Paris is the capital city of France; a metropolis bursting with attractions, world-class art galleries, museums and beautiful parks and gardens. Whatever you wish to do during your France holiday, you will find it in Paris; whether it be a romantic cruise on the River Seine, a visit to Mona Lisa at the world-famous Louvre, a fun-filled day at Disneyland Paris or viewing Paris from the top of the Eiffel Tower. Home to some of the world's leading fashion houses, Paris offers fabulous shopping both in department stores and in small boutiques. For the gastronomes amongst us there is a buzzing café society and a plethora of fashionable restaurants offering fine dining and exquisite wines.
The city is serviced by two major airports and six train stations. The high-speed Eurostar from London will take you under the English Channel and straight into the heart of the city. Once in Paris, the Metro or RER commuter rail will take you just about anywhere in the city.
