Despite shrinking economic growth in the Eurozone, a record 88 million travellers passed through the city’s Charles de Gaulle and Orly airports in 2011. To this day, the City of Light remains the world’s most visited city — and nearly half of those visitors (45%) are there on businnes. Paris is in a constant state of renewal, and recent additions and upgrades to the city’s airports and hotels reflect its intent to remain a premier business and leisure travel destination. For example, in June 2012 Air France opened the bright, airy, 580-million-euro S4 boarding satellite area at Charles de Gaulle Airport, which includes the carrier’s largest business class lounge, a Clarins spa and enough space to handle six giant Airbus A380 aircraft. The city centre is laid out on an east to west axis, bisected by the River Seine. Key business centres are located in La Defense, a district of skyscrapers and corporate headquarters in the city’s northwest, and on the left (south) bank of the Seine, near the Eiffel Tower, are most governmental and quasi-governmental offices. The central core of the city on the right (north) bank of the Seine is home to fashion houses, banks, department stores, most large hotels and embassies.
I don't dream to visit Paris. But I think that a trip to Paris will be interesting for me because I like to travel. This article helps me to know some sapid facts about Paris.
It is an interesting article. I would like to visit Paris but it is not my dream. It is a really amazing city with its own special features and with an unusual history.
I think Paris is one of the most unique romantic beautiful cities in the world My sister and her husband went there on their honeymoon and were amazed by the beauty of the Eiffel Tower and other places of interest. But the level of life of indigenous Parisians was quite low(low ceilings in homes, narrow doorways and tiny rooms, dirt on small streets), but prices are very high)
BTW, I have been to Paris once. My wife and I went on a tour of Paris last summer. We spent two days in the city The views are great, buildings are gorgeous, streets are noisy and crowded, people seemed happy but busy! But prices are high, black parisians nag at you every second, escpecially near most popular sites. I fell in love with the city but was displeased with the food
Wow, i adore Paris. My dream is going to Paris. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful city !!! I like this article. It is interesting to learn about this wonderful place
