France is a great country in several ways. It is one of the largest countries in Europe, its one of the most united (despite the varied geography), and the most important thing are the people which have a strong sense of patriotism.
When you say France you think of the quality of French lifestyle, the beauty of the landscapes and cities, the culinary goodies and the excelent wine. Many tourists come here every year and due to favorable climatic conditions. But the capital may be hot in summer and winter can be unpleasantly cold.
Paris is the capital of France for over 1,500 years. It is a shining metropolis that remained the capital even after the French Empire was divided. It is a city filled with monuments. No matter how hard you try to see them all I don't think its possible. The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe and Champs Elysees are just three of the most important places to be visited.
