Paris France is the most visited city in the world with more than 30 million travel visits per year.

Paris is the capital and largest city of France and is located in the North - central part of the country on both sides of the Seine River.
 
The city of Paris France being over 2000 years old is a leading global cultural, business and political center and is renowned for its defining neo-classical architecture as well as its unrivalled influence in fashion and the arts.

The most recognisable symbol of Paris France, picture this - is the 324 metre (1,063 ft) Eiffel Tower on the banks of the Seine. Paris inside its administrative limits had an estimated mid-2004 population of 2,144,700, but over the last century the city has grown well beyond those boundaries. Today, the Paris urban area (the contiguous built-up area) has an estimated population of 9.9 million, and the Paris metropolitan area (including satellite cities) was at 11.5 million in 1999. Paris and the Île-de-France région produce more than a quarter of France's wealth, with a GDP of nearly €450 billion (US$506.7 billion) in 2003. With nearby La Défense, Europe's largest business district, Paris also hosts the head offices of almost half of all French companies, as well as the offices of major international firms and the headquarters of many international organisations such as UNESCO and the OECD.

One-quarter of France manufacturing (machinery, automobiles and other vehicles, chemicals and electrical equipment) is concentrated in the Paris Metropolitan Area. The Paris has also significantly attracted publishing industry, international luxury manufactures including high-faction closing and jewellery due to its cultural and artistic preeminence.
