L' Amour à Paris
THE CITY CALLED LOVE
La Tour Eiffel
Paris pronounced Pari by
the French is the capital and the most populous city in France and often
regarded as the love Capital of the world
for this reason it has played an integral role in love stories the world over,
being the dream destination for lovers all over the world, with different
intentions ranging from honey moons, engagements, vacations, love trips or
wedding anniversaries. Located on the Seine River, in the northern part of the
country, it is in the centre of the île-de-france
région, also known as région parisienne, “Paris region”. The
name "Paris" is derived from its early inhabitants, the Celtic
Parisii tribe. Paris is often referred to as "The
City of Light" (La Ville Lumière), both because of its leading
role during the Age of Enlightenment and more literally because Paris was one
of the first European cities to adopt gas street lighting. In the 1860s, the
boulevards and streets of Paris were illuminated by 56,000 gas lamps; I bet
that would be a wonderful sight to behold.

The name "Paris" sounds romantic when pronounced
with a French accent, no wonder French is one of the sexiest languages in the
world because of its unique way of pronunciations. I often ask myself what make
people fall helplessly in love with Paris? The answer is simple. The atmosphere
is blessed with so much love and romance, you feel invincible confetti falling
from the skies with sweet surrender. The flowers in the gardens’ are not left out,
as they are the spice of nature, to beautify the love capital of the world, succulent, colourful, and beautiful with
the freshness of dew. These flowers are a natural aphrodisiac to the concept of
love which can hypnotize us into falling in love, little wonder loads of lovers
spent time in “Jardin
d’amour” (Garden of love) just to connect with nature’s goodness.
l'Arc de Triomphe
The Violin,
guitar strings, saxophone and classical sounds are familiar sounds in the
streets of Paris and that brings me to the theory that love and music works
magic wherever they meet. Paris has a large number of classical monuments with
rich history which you can visit with your spouse. Places like
l'Opéra de Paris
Notre-Dame
Le
Palais de chaillot
La
Pyramide du Louvre
Les
Invalides
L’Opera
de Paris
La
Bibliothèque national de France
Le centre George Pompidou
L’Arc de Triomphe
Le Grande Palais
La
Géode
La Tour
Eiffel
Le Musée
d’Orsay, known for its collection of French Impressionist arts.
L’Arche
de la Défense
Le
Chateau de Versailles
La
Place de la concorde
These
monumental places are magical at just a glimpse and breathtaking at full view.
Every one of them has their own unique stories and structures.
Musée d'Orsay
Paris
has numerous restaurants with beautifully crafted interiors and a well arranged
tables with candle lights and big transparent windows to see through to the whole
city that means you enjoy your meal while feeding your eyes to the beautiful
view of the city. A typical example of such restaurant which I am talking about
is La Tour D’Argent a restaurant with
professionalism and taste.
Le Grand Palais
Let’s not forget to talk about some of French finest “Vin de pays” (Country wine) or “Vin Rouge” (Red wine) some of which
have been in existence for as old as you could think, wines like “Château Malbat”, “Moulin de Gassac”, “Merlot, Grange
Rouge” and goes well with meat, made from the finest grapes, from the best
vineyards by the best wine makers. Whenever you visit Paris make sure to have a
wonderful time and enjoy the exotic day and night life of Paris.

During the winter period Paris wears a different look as atmospheric
ice crystals “la neige” (Snow) falls on
the ground as a white layer complementing the beauty of the city in its own unique way.
