Paris is the capital and most populous city of France, with an official estimated population of 2,102,650 residents as of 1 January 2023. It’s located in the north-central part of the country.
The top things to do on a first-time visit: enjoy a panoramic view of the city from a 330-metre height at the top of the Eiffel Tower, admire Victor Hugo’s beloved gargoyles at Notre Dame Cathedral and stand at the top of the tallest hill in Paris at the Sacré Cœur Basilica. These are the three monuments most popular with visitors to Paris. Not far from Notre Dame Cathedral, the Sainte Chapelle with its beautiful stained glass windows is also well worth visiting.
