Region:France, Paris
France! Paris! The image that immediately comes to mind is the Eiffel Tower sparkling at night,and the image of a city full of romance.
Also, as a country famous for its cuisine, it is a city filled with food—wine, sweet desserts like macarons, and dishes with distinctive French flavors. In Paris you can find wines made across France, such as those from Bordeaux and Beaujolais, so it is a city where you can sample a wide variety of wines. With artistic sensibility and culinary romance, this beautiful country offers all three and is chosen as the number one travel destination that travelers around the world want to visit.
Top Destination #1 - Louvre Museum
The Louvre Museum is regarded as one of the world's three great museums, along with the British Museum in the UK and the Vatican Museums in Vatican City.It exhibits more than 300,000 works of art—paintings, sculptures, and more—collected from various regions both within and beyond Europe, and it is so large that it would take several days to view all the artworks on display.Alongside Paris's Eiffel Tower, the glass pyramid installed in front of the Louvre Museum is another iconic architectural symbol of Paris.At sunset, you can enjoy the beautiful sight of the sun's glow shining through the glass pyramids.
Top Destination #2 - Montmartre Hill
Montmartre Hill is the highest hill in Paris.The name Montmartre derives from the phrase "Mount of Martyrs," and it is said to carry the meaning of a hill dedicated to Mars, which is how it came to be called Montmartre. It was an area where artists such as Van Gogh and Toulouse-Lautrec lived, and even today, if you visit the hill you'll find artists painting portraits for tourists on the hill. The alleyways that continue beyond Montmartre retain the appearance of the 19th century, making it a place where you can imagine what Paris looked like in that era.
Top Destination #3 - Montparnasse Tower
The Montparnasse Tower is a skyscraper located in the 15th arrondissement of Paris.From the top of the skyscraper you can enjoy the night view of Paris, including the Eiffel Tower. Many visitors to Paris go near the Eiffel Tower or to the Palais de Chaillot to admire the night view, but this place is known as a spot locals visit to spend a romantic evening.While most of the building is used as offices for companies, the rooftop terraces on the 56th and 58th floors are open to the public, making it one of the best observation points for viewing Paris's nightscape.
