Paris

Paris (over 2.2 million inhabitants), this city has many contrasts and is extremely colourful and fascinates every visitor - a metropolis like no other! The capital city of fashion and art offers something for everyone. There are many things to see and do: small cafes, top class restaurants, a big selection of shopping centers, and a lively nightlife. Despite the hectic, you can still find the colourful lifestyles of the different cultures on the street corners. Even after many visits to this fascinating city, it is always good for a surprise. 32 km to the east of Paris is fantasyland; Disneyland offers something for young and old, an unforgettable adventure full of magic.
