Paris, France

Paris has it all. From the Romans and the Sun King to Napoleon and modern French presidents, each of France's rulers has left their imprint on Paris. You see it in the architecture of the city, in the museums and in the culture. You can start in Île de la Cité (the birthplace of Paris in 300 B.C) with the 12th century Notre Dame and then wander up Haussman's 19th century Champs-Élysées into the heart of modern, commercial Paris. A day beginning in the medieval streets of the Latin Quarter can take in the 13th century Sorbonne and then progress into the bourgeoisie center of Paris, St-Germain-de-Prés full of the ghosts of literary legends. The colorful history of Paris has made it the city it is today, full of beautiful architecture, breath-taking views and a diverse population.
