Paris
Paris has a timeless familiarity for first-time and frequent visitors, with instantly recognisable architectural icons, along with exquisite cuisine, chic boutiques and priceless artistic treasures.
The wrought-iron spire of the Eiffel Tower piercing the clouds, the broad Arc de Triomphe guarding Paris most glamorous avenue, the Champs-lyses, the gargoyled Notre Dame cathedral, lamplit bridges spanning the Seine and art nouveau cafes spilling on to wicker-chair-lined terraces are indelibly etched in the minds of anyone whos visited the city and the imaginations of anyone who hasnt (yet). But despite initial appearances, Paris cityscape isnt static: there are some stunning modern and contemporary icons too, from the inside-out, industrial-style Centre Pompidou to the mur vgtal (vertical garden) gracing the striking Muse du Quai Branly.
Paris dining is iconic: Frances reputation for its cuisine (the French word for kitchen) precedes it, and whether you seek a cosy neighbourhood bistro or a triple-Michelin-starred temple to gastronomy, you'll find every establishment prides itself on exquisite preparation and presentation of quality produce, invariably served with wine. Enticing patisseries, boulangeries (bakeries), fromageries (cheese shops) and crowded, colourful street markets are perfect for packing a picnic to take to the citys parks and gardens. A host of culinary courses from home kitchens through to the worlds most prestigious cookery schools offers instruction for all schedules, abilities and budgets.
Parisians are synonymous with style, and fashion shopping is the citys forte. Paris remains at the forefront of international trends, and browsing emerging and established designer boutiques and flagship haute couture houses is a quintessential part of any visit. Youll also find uberhip concept stores, quirky homeware shops, and resplendent art nouveau department stores, along with a trove of vintage shops and flea markets, atmospheric bookshops (including the dark-green bouquiniste stalls secondhand bookshop lining the riverbanks), adorable childrens wear and toy shops, art and antique dealers, venerable shops selling state-of-the-art professional cookware, and, of course, gourmet food and wine shops galore.
With an illustrious artistic pedigree Renoir, Rodin, Picasso, Monet, Manet, Dal and Van Gogh are but a few of the masters who lived and worked here over the years Paris is one of the great art repositories of the world, harbouring treasures from antiquity onward. In addition to big hitters like the incomparable Louvre, the Muse dOrsays exceptional impressionist collection, and the Centre Pompidous cache of modern and contemporary art, there are scores of smaller museums housing collections in every imaginable genre, and a diverse range of venues mounting major exhibitions through to off-beat installations.
By Catherine Le Nevez, Writer
Paris grandeur is inspiring but what I love most about the city is its intimacy. Its quartiers (quarters) are like a patchwork of villages, and while its one of the worlds major metropolises with all of the culture and facilities that go with it theres a real sense of community at the local shops, markets and cafes that hasnt changed since my childhood. Yet because every little village has its own evolving character, Im constantly discovering and rediscovering hidden corners of the city.
