Paris is divided into 20 arrondissements that spiral
out like a snail shell from the first, centered around the Louvre, of which certain
quarters (Montmartre, Montparnasse, the Marais) are real villages within the city.
The more traditional separation of Paris into Left and Right Bank, between the
world of business and the world of culture, is no longer valid. Culture capital
Paris, world capital of art and culture, gathers some of the most famous museums
and monuments in the world. Not to be missed: The Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay.
Visit any of the many others according to your tastes and interests: the Musée
Picasso, Musée Rodin, Musée Carnavalet, Musée Marmottan and the Arab Institute
are just a few. Essential Paris monuments: the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame cathedral,
the Arc de Triomphe or the Grande Arche de la Défense. Official
