Paris, France

         Paris, "the city of love" is obviously, and rightly so, one of the most popular cities to travel to in the world. If you visit Paris, seeing the Eiffel Tower is a must. Going to the top at night and during the day allows you to indulge in two very different scenes of the city. The Louvre, home of the Mona Lisa is one of France's most prized museums. It holds antiques, sculptures, decorative arts, paintings, prints, and drawings. Notre Dame de Paris, a Catholic cathedral is also one of Paris's most famous attractions. Notre Dame is a great example of the architecture in the 1300's.

         French cuisine for breakfast includes a "quick meal" which consists of French bread with jam and either coffee or tea (children drink hot chocolate). Lunch is severed mid-day, and lasts for two hours. It includes usually a sandwich and dessert for blue-collar workers, and lunch vouchers that can be used in restaurants for white-collar workers. Dinner is served in three courses, the first is an appetizer, the second is the main course, and the last is a dessert or cheese course. Street foods are often a convenience for working people, as well as tourists who are looking to try different types of French cuisine.
