The amazing City of Paris, often called the City of Light, partly due to the fact that Louis XIV encouraged the civic authorities to use more lanterns for street lighting and residents to light their windows with candles but also because the City was a centre for enlightened thinkers including poets, philosophers and scientists during the 17th and 18th centuries.

Still at the forefront of the arts today Paris is at once exciting, entertaining, educational but above all still enlightening!

For this edition of the app I refer in detail only to those attractions that can be seen comfortably in one day. Most are within walking distance, (i.e. in Arrondissements 1 - 6) while the others can be easily reached using the City’s incomparable Metro system, e.g. Le Tour Eiffel (7th), Les Champs Elysées and L’Arc de Triomphe (both 8th) and Montmartre (18th).
