THE VIVA GUIDE Welcome to_

This guide was produced for you by the Viva Paris team. Graphic Design by Carmen Galán [carmengalan.com] PARIS City of lights, hotbed of revolution, home of couture and devilishly good food! Paris is the world’s most popular tourist destination just in front of . The , the and the Notre-Dame Cathedral are the top three tourist destinations.

Named “city of lights” because of its position as the intellectual centre famous for education and modern ideas during the age of Enlightenment, Paris truly is a dreamy place. With 2,23 million inhabitants and approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes needed to walk from the north to the south, Paris can and should be visited by foot. Whilst Paris is made of tiny streets, large avenues are useful for the lost tourist: if you lose your way in a warren of small streets, just try to walk straight in one direction. You’ll soon find yourself at a large avenue or plaza that is easily identifiable on your map. Rest aside these iconic places, Paris is an infatuating city to be in, unique in its way of being and doing things. We hope you’ll enjoy reading this guide as much as we’ve enjoyed making it. It’s a well known fact that there’s no one that loves Paris more than the Parisians !
