Paris, the capital of France, is often called La Ville Lumière (meaning ‘The City of Light’), however, beneath this bustling European city of 12 million people, lies a dark subterranean world holding the remains of 6 million of its former inhabitants. However, only around one mile of this area is open for public exploration. The rest is deemed to be unsafe, and hence, is illegal to visit. Visitors are first greeted with a sign at the entrance of the ossuary, which reads 'St...op. This is the empire of death. If you are looking for a thrill in your trip, this is the perfect match for you!

The Arc de Triomphe Paris, the most monumental of all triumphal arches, was built between 1806 and 1836. The Arch still retains the essence of the original concept which was a powerful, unified ensemble. The Arc de Triomphe stands at the centre of the Place Charles de Gaulle, also known as the "Place de l'Étoile". It’s located at the western end of the Champs-Élysées. The triumphal arch is in honor of those who fought for France, in particular, those who fought during the Na...poleonic Wars. Engraved on the inside and at the top of the arch are all of the names of the generals and wars fought. This is a very historical site you wouldn't want to miss!

Cupcakes have been the dessert trend for the past few years but finally, for the sake of our waist line, macarons are now the new trend. Macarons are dainty cream-filled sandwich cookies. Although not necessarily healthy they are certainly lighter and contain fewer calories that cupcakes. One macaron has from 70-100 calories, while one cupcake has close to 400 calories. One and done! Macarons are not to be confused with their similar-name-sister-cookie, macaroons, which are... coconut clusters with a crisp exterior and chewy texture. Give yourself a sumptuous treat in Paris!

Paris and its infamous river have long been the treasured subject of many a painter. Not much has changed, though, as artists still set up their easels on the Seine’s banks.The river has been the subject of many famous impressionist paintings, including Monet’s Bathers at La Grenouillere and Renoir’s Seine River at Asnieres. Impressionist painter Auguste Renoir and Nicolas-Jean-Baptiste are to name a few. All artists, old and new, impressionist and realist are interested in t...he different nuances of light that Paris offers. If you want a memorable souvenir, I recommend coming here to have your portrait done by an artist.

A croissant is a delicious French pastry, known by its crescent shape. (Croissant means crescent in French). The original croissant was called Kipfel and originated in Austria in 1683. It was created in honor of the Austrian victory over the Turks and modeled after the crescent on the Turkish flag. (Some historians say the croissant originated in Hungary) August Zang, an Austrian artillery officer, is credited with bringing the croissant to France when he opened his own Vienn...ese bakery in Paris. (Some say it was Marie Antoinette who brought the croissant to France. The Croissant became the French national product in 1920. Your trip won't be complete without croissants!
