People call Paris “The city of the light”. There are many interesting sights in Paris and tourists never get bored with visiting them. There is the Eiffel Tower, for example. It is 300 meters tall. The view from the top is amazing! There are also lots of museums and art galleries in Paris. The biggest and the most popular is the Louvre. Here you can see the famous sculptures and paintings like Leonardo da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. Paris is the beautiful city and I like it very much.
