Paris Travel Tips
Paris was originally a Roman City called Lutetia. It is the most visited capital in the world and known as "The City Of Lights" Paris was given its name because it was one of the first cities to have a street lightning system. It is a dog friendly city and some of the restaurants allow dogs, it has been estimated there are half a million dogs in the city. Each year there is a best baker competition and the winner gets the opportunity to bake for the president. One of my favourite buildings is the beautiful ansd iconic building Notre Dame, I hope they will be able to restore the catherdral, it is not only visited by many people from around the world but is also part of history. Getting to the city Paris has two airports Paris Orly Airport and Paris Charles De Gauelle Airport.
