Paris is probably one of the most visited cities in Europe. It is set to be even more popular in 2024 as the eyes of the world will be on it, as it hosts both the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The city has long had a reputation for being one of the most romantic cities in the world, as well as the centre of the Fashion Industry, a cultural city and the capital of fine cuisine. So, there is plenty to attract the visitor and it is a city I fell in love with as a teenager and I have lost count of how many times I have visited this beautiful city.
