Paris lives up to its reputation as a museum city: as we stroll through the city, we pass through the eras and make wonderful discoveries as we set out to conquer the rich heritage of the City of Light. And with each arrondissement having its own history and atmosphere, it's a pleasure to meet the different worlds that together make up the whole of Paris.
