"Paris in May" a Paris Travel Page by Tolik

Paris is one of the world’s most beautiful, cultural and fashionable capital cities. It is quite distinctively divided into two parts by the Seine River, which meanders through the city, bisecting the center. Thus everything in Paris is defined as Rive Droite (Right Bank) on the north side, or Rive Gauche (Left Bank) on the south side. Both sides compete with each other in great museums, churches, monuments, shops, hotels and restaurants, while in the middle of the river, atop the L’Île de la Cité, rises the towering bulk of Notre Dame cathedral. It’s useful to know that central Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements or administrative districts which spiral out from the center. Most of the major tourist sites are in the lower number arrondissements, notably the first (1er) to the eighth (8e). Walking through the heart of Paris you often feel like you’ve wandered onto an art film set. Its architecture includes some of the most spectacular buildings and monuments in Europe and its residents are the definition of style.

Someone said that bad people go to Hell and good ones go to Paris. I do not know if you have been good or bad in this life, but you'd better not wait for your next life to come to Paris.
As Victor Hugo put it: 'It is in Paris that the beating of Europe’s heart is felt. Paris is the city of cities.'
