Paris is the ‘city of light’, the ‘city of love’ and the ‘capital of fashion’. The bank of the Seine, the Montmartre and the Quartier Latin speak of artists: about Dumas, Zola, and Victor Hugo, who depicted the city in unforgettable literary pieces and about painters who did the same on canvas. The streets and squares remind us of the Sun King, the ‘man in the iron mask’ and Napoleon. In the cafes, old chansons are sung on the voice of Edith Piaf and Yves Montand. The wheel of the Moulin Rouge is unstoppable, while in the halls of the Louvre, Leonardo’s Mona Lisa is smiling enigmatically, below the Grand Arche the traffic never slows down, and the iron bars of the Eiffel Tower are looming above Notre Dame and the Sacre Coeur.
