Hi, and welcome to watchmojo.com. My name is Karen, and today we’ll be profiling the city of Paris. As you probably already know, Paris is the capital of France, the capital of fashion and it’s also known as the city of lights.

So, Paris was first established as a little settlement on an island on the Seine. It takes its present name of Paris, for the Parisii, which were the settlers back then. It was then conquered by the Romans, and they called it Lutetia. Afterwards, it was ruled over by the kings for many centuries. Then in 1789, was the French revolution, which was led by social and economical problems. And Paris as we know it today, with its grand boulevards and its present architecture was built by the Baron Von Haussmann under Napoleon the third.

Now if you’re planning to visit Paris, you’ll be very happy to know that there’s a lot to do and a lot to see in the city. I would recommend first going to the Musée du Louvre, which is where there’s the Mona Lisa, and it holds a massive collection of the arts through the ages.
