Long considered the paragon of style, Paris is perhaps the most glamorous city in Europe. It is at
once deeply traditional and famously cosmopolitan. The city's reputation as a magnet for writers, artists,
and dissidents lives on, and it remains at the forefront of Western intellectual, artistic, and literary life.
The most tangible and immediate pleasures of Paris are to be found in its street life and along the banks
and bridges on the River Seine. Few cities can compete with the cafes, bars, and restaurants that line
every street and boulevard, and the city's compactness makes it possible to experience the individual
feel of the different quartiers.
