PARIS HIGHLIGHTS

Association
In Paris, magic is an everyday affair. You can't help but feel it, whether you're sipping espresso in a sidewalk cafe, exploring the Louvre, or looking up at the Eiffel Tower, lit up against the evening sky. Go where Monet painted and Napoleon ruled. Where champagne runs like water and food is an art. Travel to the chateaux country and find yourself in a fairy-tale land of extraordinary castles and enchanting gardens. See Leonardo da Vinci's inventions painstakingly reconstructed, his genius brought to life. Visit the Louvre and fall in love with Venus de Milo, smile back at Mona Lisa. Go where style was born and love is always in the air. You'll go home with the "City of Light" in your heart. As Ernest Hemingway said"... it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast."
