My favourite city is Paris, the capital of France. It is in Europe, specifically 48° 51' 52.9776'' N,
2° 20' 56.4504'' E. Paris has many tourists. It is the second most visited city in world. It is a
cultural city. It is a crowded city. Its population is little higher than two millions. Symbols of
Paris are Eifell Tower, Louvre Museum –Mona Lisa, Notre Dame –unfortunatelly burn
recently, Champs-Elysees Avenue, Versailles Palace etc. History of Paris is very popular. It is
founded in 259 BC. It was an island on Seine River but it has grown into the surrounding
area. Throughout history, it was conquered by many countries. From Francs to Romans,
Vikings to Nazis. During the revolution, there was blood-lake. People eat croissant and drink
