Paris is the capital of France, and the cultural centre of all that is French-speaking. Instantly recognisable worldwide through such landmarks as the Eiffel Tower, the Arc d'Triomphe and the world-class Lourvre museum, Paris is a popular holiday destination despite Parisians' legendary reputation for rudeness. A city that has seen revolution and civil strife, the capture of Paris has been the goal of many a military ruler - the capitulation of the city equivalent to the defeat of a continent.
