Paris, the cosmopolitan capital of France, is one Europe's largest cities, with 2.2 million people living in the dense, central city and almost 12 million people living in the metropolitan area. Located in the north of France on the river Seine, Paris has the well deserved reputation of being one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world. Brimming with historic associations and remaining vastly influential in culture, art, fashion, food and design. Dubbed the City of Light (la Ville Lumière) and Capital of Fashion. The city has numerous iconic landmarks, such as the world's most visited tourist site the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre Museum, Moulin Rouge, and Lido, making it the most popular tourist destination in the world with 45 million tourists annually. Most hotels are in historic buildings in Paris’ city center and are typically constrained by the architecture of the building. A smaller hotel means smaller rooms, as a result, the biggest bed you’re likely to find in most Paris hotels is a queen-sized bed.
