Paris
Paris is one of the most visited places in the world. It is crossed by the river Seine in Northern France. It is the capital and also the biggest city in the country. Home to a diverse population, Paris is known as a melting pot since there are numerous types of people seen in the streets. There are students, workers, elders, tourists, as well as foreign people from all walks of life who are working there for a given period of time or, most likely, simply love Paris.
Most travellers that want to get to see France properly start their visit by catching a flight to Paris (which has 3 airports: Charles de Gaulle, Beauvais and Orly). Then they go on to spend at least a good 4 or 5 days in the Capital before immersing themselves in the depths of France. For such purpose, renting a car in Paris is not at all a bad idea, as trains, despite taking you to destinations quite quickly, tend to be expensive and also deprive you of the possibility to stop in little towns in between major destinations.
Paris started as a jumble of streets and houses, but in the mid-19th century, the city undergone complete renovation where quarters were completely leveled to give way to wider avenues and neo-Classical buildings. The strict implementation of the building code helped preserve the look of the city, which tourists are now enjoying while walking the streets of Paris. And then you will probably drive them as well, because if at all you intend to rent a car in France, Paris is a good pickup location due to is central-north position. The river Seine cuts through the city where most of the goods are being transported as well as transporting tourists. There are 37 bridges in the city that crosses the river, and Pont-Neuf is the oldest. The two wooded areas in the city are the ones responsible for the fresh air that people can breathe in while in the city.
