The “City of Light,” Paris, located on the River Seine in the North central part of France, enjoys its reputation as a global center for culture , finance, fashion, and culinary excellence. Known by a variety of names through history, Paris has seen human occupation from roughly 8000 BC.

Norte Dame Cathedral, re-built after a devastating fire, opened again to the public in 2025. The Eiffel Tower, the Louvre Museum, and the Arc de Triomphe, along with several other well-known sites, offer visitors and residents cultural and historical experiences. Strolling along the Champs-Elysees serves dual purposes of relaxation and fine shopping. Tourists can also visit the Palace of Versailles, a short day trip from Paris.

Originating with intellectuals of the eighteenth century Enlightenment who gathered for conversation and exchange of ideas, Parisian cafes act as social hubs for relaxation and enjoyment. In addition to light fare, cafes serve both complete meals and alcohol although traditional settings often discourage use of laptops in order to maintain a focus on social interaction.

Fresh baguettes, buttery croissants, tasty cheeses, and indescribable pastries delight diners, and an evening meal accompanied by aromatic and delicious French wine can complete a day wonderfully. For every reason imaginable, Paris is a city to see!
