Why Paris?

Known as the City of Lights, Paris is a dazzling city for many reasons, from artistic and intellectual stimulation to a rich legacy of cuisine excellence. Parisians are very open-minded people who constantly explore the exotic and don’t judge others by social status and financial means. The French way of life is hard to sum up, but there is a love of life, of the finer things in life, a sort of chic and finesse in the French lifestyle that you don't get in any other country.
