Paris Travel Guide: 26,625 reviews and 51,992 photos

Ile de la Cite is the cradle of Paris. It was here that the Parisii tribe lived; the Romans, led by Caesar's lieutenant Labenius, conquered the Parisii in 52 AD and set up camp. The city was given the name Lutecia.

Today, Paris is the capital of France and Europe's second biggest city. It has a population of about 9.6 million (incl. the greater metropolitain area) and is located on the Seine.

    Great that you celebrated New Year's Eve in Paris! I've had two really nice visits to Paris in the last two years. This time I visited my younger son, who was studying there and even had a flat (on the 28th floor) so I didn't even need a hotel this time.
