         Now I am in Paris, France. Paris is the capital of France and it is the largest city in there. Paris is located in Northern France and the longitude and latitude for Paris is: 48° 51’N, 2° 21’E. The River Seine runs through Paris and it is a major tourist attraction. The chief airport in the Paris area is the Charles De Gaulle airport, with an estimated amount of passengers, which is 59.9 million. One of the many things that make Paris unique is that it is home to the Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower is the leading tourist attraction in Paris. There are twenty-two mainland regions, much like states, in France. Paris is in the Centre Region of France. Each region has it’s own elected council.  Paris is also home to the Louvre, a world renowned art museum and it is home to many extremely famous painting such as, The Mona Lisa and A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte.

         French cuisine is very popular throughout the world. Their love of food started back in the middle ages and has evolved greatly since then. French food has influenced Western cuisine. French food is very rich and a lot of butter and cream are used. In France there are customarily three meals a day.

         I hope to leave France with a better understanding of fine art and French food. France is known for it’s amazing artists and their great works of art, as well as its outstanding cooks and chefs.

This is the Louvre.
