Paris

Did you know that Paris is called the city of lights? Well, it is. It is so beautiful at night with all the monuments and the

lights.

      The Louvre, which is along the banks of the Seine River in Paris, is the world’s largest museum and one of the most well known museums in the world. This magnificent structure, which has housed priceless art in France since 1793, is among Paris' most popular tourist attraction.. On August 10, 1793, the Musee du Louvre, located on Paris’ right bank, opened its doors to the public.  

  

One of the main things Paris is known for is the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous monuments of Paris, France. The Eiffel Tower was actually named after a man named Gustave Eiffel.. In 2010 about 250 million people viewed the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is about 1,063 feet tall, about the height of an 81 story building.    

French foods are the best foods in the world, in the opinion of this author. They have amazing bread called baguettes, that the French eat at every meal. They also are famous for a dessert called macaroons. They are French small, flavored, circular cakes. Another French food is the crèpe. It is like a really flat pancake that you put fruit or cheese and then roll it up.
