Rich in culture and history, the French capital was originally a small village located on Ile de la Cité island, which gradually developed on both sides of the River Seine. Today, Paris is world-famous for its monuments, buildings and striking museums but also for its magnificent districts all very different from each other, its Parisian brasseries and its old typical cafes, its gourmet restaurants, its operas and theatres, its shops offering an inconceivable choice, and its creativity with Haute Couture fashion.
