Paris has shaped the world's idea of elegance, a place where grand boulevards, remarkable architecture and everyday rituals combine to create an atmosphere found nowhere else.
Paris remains one of the world's great urban experiences, a city whose influence extends far beyond France and into almost every aspect of art, culture, fashion and design.
