Explore Paris

With two World Heritage sites, over 200 museums, more than 420 parks and gardens, and nearly 200 churches and temples, its not surprising that Pariss population of 2.2 million have to share their good fortune with around 16 million visitors a year.

Paris is a comparatively compact city and more suited to walking than many, particularly for a capital. The city runs for 13km (8 miles) east and west, around 9km (6 miles) north and south, and is contained by the Priphrique, a ring road that is famous for its traffic, which runs 35km (22 miles) around it. The suburbs (la banlieue) form two concentric rings around Paris, and are split into dpartements or counties.

River Seine

The city is cut through the middle by the River Seine, which is spanned by 37 bridges. The river is the citys calmest and widest artery, barely ruffled by the daily flow of tourist and commercial boat traffic. It enters Paris close to the Bois de Vincennes in the southeast and meanders gently north and south past three small islands: le St-Louis, le de la Cit and, on its way out, le des Cygnes.

Chains of hillocks rise up to the north of the river, including Montmartre (the highest point of the city), Mnilmontant, Belleville and Buttes-Chaumont ( butte means hill); and, to the south, Montsouris, the Mont Sainte-Genevive, Buttes aux Cailles and Maison Blanche.

Family values

As part of the governments policy to encourage population growth in France, each famille nombreuse (i.e. with three children or more) is rewarded with benefits including nursery provision, subsidised public transport, sports equipment, car tax and school meals, and free admission to museums. The birth rate, which had been declining for years is now on the rise. The National Institute for Statistics now measures the rate at more than two births per woman, this increase has been boosted by Frances large Muslim community.

City layout

One of the most persistent images of Paris is of elegant long avenues lined with huge chestnut and plane trees. Chains of broad boulevards encircle the centre of the city, marking where the boundary was in medieval times. Many of the capitals streets contain the word faubourg , indicating that they were once part of the suburb outside the city wall.
