Brilliant Paris - the dream of all Russians without exception .This city attracts, attracts, excites and drives mad .It's hard to say what exactly attracts our compatriots who are eager for the French capital despite the weather, the exchange rate and the headache .Perhaps it's first-class restaurants with Michelin stars or fantastic shopping in the best European fashion houses, especially joyful during the sale .Someone just needs to bring their child to the legendary "Disneyland" and show the same iron thing that Hugo did not like, so he always dined at the restaurant on her head .Others can not live without contemplating the famous Monet lilies in nature, as well as compulsory march to the Louvre, Marmottan or Orsay .(Seeing and dying is not terrible .) A separate category of frenzied fans of the sun-kings and the like Ludovikov makes a voyage to the suburbs of Paris - Versailles and Fontainebleau .There are ordinary mortals who slowly enjoy the crazy life of the French capital under the shadow of the chestnut and the accompaniment of the ubiquitous croissant with coffee .But hell, Paris is just good, and there are no reasons to visit here!
