Paris, France

Paris is my favorite place in the world. Its beauty and culture just fascinates me. Its so different from America. The people seem to be very polite and friendly.

Just a few facts ...

Paris is the largest city and is also the capital of France. The city is known for its beauty and its culture. Paris is located in the north central part of France.
