Paris is a city full of beauty, whether it is in its architecture, its museums, or its natural surroundings. You will also find many beautiful hotels in Paris that will make you feel as fabulous as the city itself.
The first thing most people think of when they think of Paris is the Eiffel Tower. Built for the 1889 World's Fair, it has attracted visitors for over one hundred years and is one of the most beautiful and recognized landmarks in the world. But there are other amazing architectural landmarks to see in Paris. For example, the Arc de Triomphe is a magnificent monument built for Napoleon in 1809, and the Cathedral of Notre Dame is a breathtaking example of medieval architecture complete with 'flying buttresses'. There are many other examples of beautiful architecture in the city, of course, including the Alexander Nezsky Cathedral, built in 1861 showing off onion domes and icons and the Basilique St. Denis, considered the first example of Gothic architecture, built in the 1130s.
Paris Musuem
Paris is home to one of the most famous museums in the world, the Louvre. The Louvre is also the world's largest museum, a multi-level, three-winged, always growing and changing building, showcasing 35,000 works of art and artifacts from all over the world and from every era. The most famous work of art to call this home is da Vinci's Mona Lisa. Other museums include the Jacquemart Andre, a beautiful 19th century mansion complete with a long, terraced staircase and pair of stone lions to welcome you in and housing a wonderful collection of paintings that includes Rembrandts and Italian masters; the Museum of textiles and Decorative Arts which hosts beautiful examples of French furniture, carpets and tableware; and the Guimet Museum of Asian Arts, a fantastic collection of sculpture and other art from all parts of Asia.
Paris, a Most Beautiful City
For beautiful natural surroundings, Paris is hard to beat. The River Seine runs through the middle of the city, allowing visitors to float down the river while taking in the view of Paris, a wonderful experience, especially at night when the city is lit up from every angle. Many parks are found in the city, including Bois de Boulogne, the largest park in Paris. Covering 865 acres, the park was once a royal hunting ground and is now famous for its roses, daffodils and lilies, as well as waterfalls, a boating lake and an orangery that hosts summer concerts.
Hotels in Paris abound, from the historical such as the Aviatic, Jeu de Paume or George IV, to the more modern Amour, all as beautiful and special as the city itself.

Whether you intend to create a contemporary or a traditional feel, a series of Paris posters will really give your guests something to talk about. Paris is the city of love and can hold special memories, so what better gift to give than a black and white signed poster of a special landmark that is important to you?
Black and white posters of one of the museums like the world-famous Louvre, look effective. The Louvre used to be a royal palace and now houses some of the work from the world's most famous artists, such as Delacroix and Leonardo da Vinci, whose memorable work - The Mona Lisa - is held there. Paintings from artists such as Picasso, Monet, Rodin and Raphael can be seen in the museums of Paris.
As well as the masterpieces inside the museums, take notice of all the fascinating artwork around Paris such as The Urban Surfer at Ecole Militaire, or gargoyles at Notre Dame. Create your own fine art by capturing with photography, the wonderment of all that is Paris. This wonderment can then be printed into Paris posters which can be framed, or as high-quality giclee canvas prints, both of which will add intrigue to your homes.
Paris is full of well-known landmarks such as The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, The Moulin Rouge or the Palais du Luxembourg. Beautiful chateaux are situated outside of Paris such as the Royal Chateau de Fontainebleau, one of the largest Royal chateaux in France, and The Chateau de Versailles castle, one of the largest in the world.
Black and white film will create atmosphere, tone and shade which gives a timeless feel to an image. The contrast between black and white provides interest and with fine art photography, the images can be given a totally different, emotional feel. Capture the Arc de Triomphe and the Champs Elysee at night and notice the contrast between the night sky and the highlight of the features within the image, such as with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Create movement with the traffic along the Champs Elysee. Whether capturing the every-day moments of people having coffee in one of the open-air cafes, or one of a pair of lovers walking hand-in-hand, imagine how the images will look within your home as Paris posters, or even as a special present for someone in your life.

Francais video Exhibition at Les Galeries nationales du Grand Palais, Paris ( 22 septembre 2010 - 24 janvier 2011) Pendant plus de soixante ans, Claude Monet a peint sans relâche, élaborant une oeuvre qui incarne l'expression la plus pure de l'impressionnisme, pour constituer au début du xxe siècle un des fondements de l'art moderne. C'est l'ensemble de ce parcours riche et fécond que l'exposition des Galeries nationales réinterroge. Cette exposition monographique est la plus importante manifestation dédiée à l'artiste depuis près de trente ans, lorsque s'était tenue aux Galeries nationales en 1980 une rétrospective en forme d'hommage. Depuis, les recherches sur l'artiste se sont multipliées et ont mis en lumière des aspects moins connus de son oeuvre. Tous les jours de 10h00 à 22h00. Le mardi jusqu'à 14h00. Le jeudi jusqu'à 20h00. Tous les jours de 9h à 23h pendant les vacances scolaires. More info & tickets online: www.monet2010.com Grand Palais Online: www.grandpalais.fr

A bunch of college students are stranded in a small town where suffering for art takes on a whole new meaning in this tale of terror. Carly (Elisha Cuthbert) and her boyfriend, Wade (Jared Padalecki), have hit the road with a handful of their friends to attend a championship college football game; tagging along with them are Carly's bratty friend Paige (Paris Hilton, Carly's trouble-making twin brother Nick (Chad Michael Murray), and Blake (Robert Ri'chard), Paige's latest boy toy. While camping out for the night, the gang makes the mistake of getting on the wrong side of a mysterious local redneck, and the next morning they discover that Wade's car no longer works. As the others continue on to the big game, Carly and Wade make their way into the closest town, Ambrose, and discover it's all but deserted, except for a local tourist attraction, the House of Wax. However, it isn't long before they find out why the wax sculptures at the museum look so freakishly real, and discover a pair of murderous brothers are keen on making them part of the next exhibit. House of Wax is an in-name-only remake of the well-remembered 1953 3-D horror outing starring Vincent Price, which was in turn based on the 1933 picture Mystery of the Wax Museum.
