Having reputation of being the most beautiful and romantic cities of all, Paris doesn't need much introduction. Paris is the Capital and the most cosmopolitan city of France. Located in north of the country on the river Seine, the city is an influential center of almost everything i.e. politics, fashion, business, food, arts and science. This French Capital today serves as an important hub of continental transportation and is home to some of the most prominent universities, sport events, opera companies and museums. With its people being stylish and flirtatious, architecture seductive, restaurants and nightlife devoted to pleasure and its streets scattered with dreams, its undoubtedly impossible not to fall in love with this intoxicating city. A lavish metropolis, Paris is truly one of the world's greatest cities satisfying the desires of tourists and business people alike. The numerous expos and conventions on one side and colorful festivals and fairs on the other are the source of attracting huge crowds to the city. Known as 'The City of Light', Paris is the most popular tourist destination in the world especially for couples. As far as world-famous landmarks go, the city dozens of them. From Marais in the east to Eiffel Tower in west, from Pantheon to Notre-Dame Cathedral and from Sacre Couer to Obelisque, Paris extends itself to every traveler. While like almost any other European capital, it wears its history like a proud badge as well. There is no one 'best time' to visit Paris. Every season is alive with their own beauty and activities. Where summer days are spent lazing on the banks of the Seine or idling in one of the city's many gardens or forests, the winter nights on the other hand induce warm glow ice-skating. Therefore, it is undeniably right as said by Hemingway that your memories of Paris will become a 'moveable feast' that will stay with you for the rest of your life. Less

I love Paris. It is picturesque but raw and gritty. Full of life, you can easily just walk the street all day. No need to even shop, but just look around. Though trust me... you can easily shop! A traveler can easily find what they want. If they do not want "raw and gritty" they can stay more in the south or if they want to live in the heart of it, spend their time in the Marais. Paris looks like no other city I know! And do not forget the beautiful museums and monuments... with a city height limit of 7 floors, all the monuments can easily be seen, making one of the most beautiful sky lines.

For an authentic Parisian experience, wander the streets behind Notre Dame Cathedral, and you will come upon "Reserve de Quasimodo" Unfortunately, or perhaps fortunately, I do not know the address, but that will be half the fun discovering this ancient little restaurant. Named for it's centuries old wine cellar that is a cave beneath the tiny eating area, it offers fresh items daily. On a cold winter afternoon, I savored the warm vegetable soup served and red wine bread pudding. Bon appetit!

I am a lover of beer. Are there any bars in Paris that I can go to that serve only french beer? Obviously, I would be looking for something other than Kronenbourg or 1664. Also, I've already been to Frog and the Roastbif.

"Hemingway came to Paris in 1922 and the French capital became a kind of his adopted home. The greater part of Hemingway's Paris still exists and you can go to Café de Flore that hosted intellectual and litteraly elite, Les Deux Magots is concidered is Hemingway's favorite spot in the city. So Paris still keeps souvenirs about Hemingway that wrote about the city: "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast.""
