Paris evokes romantic visions of intimate bistro tete-a-tetes to the melodic strains of accordion music. While Napoleon didn’t ask designer Georges Haussman to create a City of Love, for many people world-wide Paris is just that. Why? Few cities are so beautifully cared for - from the wide, leafy boulevards and pretty cobbled courtyards to carefully-preserved historic sites. Part of the seduction is UNESCO-protected Paris, home to the iconic Eiffel Tower, Louvre, the Sacré Coeur, and Arc de Triomphe. The city has a style obsession, with Parisian culture ingrained by Haute couture idols Chanel, Dior, and Yves Saint Laurent - to name a few from a lengthy list. Today as a fashion capital, Paris is generously endowed with life’s finest things: museums, art, cultural treasures, perfumeries, grand gardens, galleries and chic boutiques. Equally highly-prize is food with everything served with Parisian panache - be it bœuf à la Bourguignonne or a baguette. To truly be part of Paris, though, it must be experienced with a local
