En route for the city of Enlightment |

Paris - a muse for romantic poets, ranging from Baudelaire's Spleen to Victor Hugo famous verses - is the world capital for Cultural Travel.
The Eiffel Tower, symbol of its splendour, stands with her Metal dress that flashes at night with a thousand lights. The capital reveals itself along the Haussmanian boulevards and their baroque or classic style buildings, full of monuments of all times, proofs of an intense cultural and historical life.
A romantic walk along the docks of the Seine river, across its magnificent bridges such as the Pont des arts or the Pont Neuf, through the paved streets, one will enjoy having a drink on a Parisian bistrot's terrace. The walkers cross the Lutecian city from a neighbourhood to another, from the Marais to Saint Germain, bump into a famous monument, or out on a boulevard like the Champs Elysées, get the famous panoramic view on the Arch of triumph.
A sacred walk is a must, to discover the Christian heritage and its architectural treasures, from Notre Dame de Paris, masterpiece of the Gothic Age, decorated with its sculpted rosace and its amazing stained-glass windows, standing proudly on Saint Louis Island… to the Sacred Heart Basilica ( a reminding of the Constantinople Churches architecture), on top of the Butte Montmartre, in the heart of the capital.
