TRAVEL SPOTLIGHT:PARIS
For your next vacation,why not consider visiting
Paris? Paris is the capital of France and is one of the
liveliest cities in Europe.
It doesn't have any beaches or mountains,
but there are still many things to do there.
For example,it has some fantastic sights,
including the Eiffel Tower and Notre Dame
Cathedral,one of the most famous churches in the world.
Traveling around Paris by taxi can cost a lot of
money,but it's usually convenient to take the
underground train to most places.
In general,though,France is quite an expensive place.
One thing that is not expensive in France,
however,is the wine!
Most people in France have learned English.
But many people don't like to speak English,
especially in Paris.
So unless you speak French yourself,
it's best to travel with someone who can
translate things for you.
