 Paris

Even though Paris is a small-ranking capital, with only a 105 square-kilometre width, the History and Heritage that have been passed to its 2 million dwellers are truly outstanding.
Paris has gone through evolutions over the centuries, such as those carried out by the works during the 2nd Empire, under the leadership of Baron Haussmann, which made the city look very much the way it is today: a park-alleviated and healthy city, whose long straight boulevards are lined with trees and dressed stone buildings.

Via unwavering action for a better environment, Paris has been on course, since 2001, to bring about an improved quality of life for its inhabitants, in a sustainable-oriented context: appearance of truly sustainable districts, reorganization of the urban area to the benefit of public transport, pedestrians and environmentally-friendly transit systems (the Vélib rental bike transit system), development of many green spaces, comprehensive access to culture for everyone. Paris has still every success with writers and film director.
