Paris is definitely one of those cities that stand out. I for one love Paris, even though I have only been able to visit Paris once,and my memories of that vacation will forever be in my heart. As a matter of fact, up to now I am still raving about that experience with some of my friends. What I love about the modern Paris is that people have a very laid back attitude amidst the booming and fast paced industry of Paris. And I also love how they were able to preserve part of history with their museums, buildings and the like.
Paris is a remarkable because of everything that makes up the city. These includes all the tourist spots and tourist attractions that are visited by people annually. Absolutely, they did a very great job on constructing representations and symbolism of their history through their artistic work of arts. They also kept some remembrances in their museums and it helps a lot in tracking back what Paris had gone through in the past. We should also give credit to Parisians who made this modern Paris possible. With their efforts and determination, they made Paris one of the top cities in the world today.
