Paris is not called Paris at the time but Lutèce, it is only 3rd century BC that a Gallic people called the "Parisii" settled on the territory. Then the city is gradually called "The City of Parisii", then Paris definitively from the 5th century AD. In the 18th century, Paris is illuminated by the century of lights. This is a very important time in the history of Paris and that of France during which speech is released, and where very important philosophers appear such as Voltaire, Montesquieu or Diderot with his very popular work 'Encyclopaedia'.

Tourism is a major force of the Parisian economy and more generally French. The most visited city in France and the 3rd most visited city in the world after Bangkok and London. The travellers love Paris for many things, it's the city of love, it contains world-famous monuments, it's the city of lights, not because it shines a thousand lights at night but because in 18th century, a police officer had the idea of implanting street lamps so that the streets are lit up at night and deter criminals. Paris is known for these famous museums, like the Orsay museum, Georges Pompidou museum or the most visited in the world, the Louvres 15 to 20,000 people come to admire the Mona Lisa every day, more than 7 million per year. Virtually all museums in Paris are free for students and under 25s, so if you want to visit museums it will be free for you thanks to the first option. Some monuments are also unavoidable such as the 324m Eiffel Tower built in the 19th with 1710 steps from the ground to the top, the triumphal arch, Notre-Dame-de-Paris, the SacréCoeur or the pantheon which is a necropolis of great characters of the Republic - including Victor Hugo, Marie Curie and Alexandre Dumas. With more than 12M visitors per year, Disneyland Paris is the largest park in Europe. Coming to Paris is not only for these monuments, Disneyland Paris offers 7 hotels and 5800 rooms. It is a much-needed infrastructure and often visitors only go to Paris for that. Disneyland Paris is the first tourist destination in Europe with more than 320M visitors since its creation in 1992.
