Paris, France - Anita




  • Paris is a the capital city of the country of France. Paris is popular for the Eiffel Tower, its fashion, its perfumes, its museums and art.
  • To celebrate the bicentenary of the French Revolution in 1989, the Golden Dome was rebuilt.
  • In 1976, there was a WINE TASTING in Paris that blindly compared Californian wines with French wines. Californian wine eventually won. The lone reporter covering the event was blacklisted for reporting it
  •  Japanese tourists when visiting Paris sometimes have to be sent back to Japan because they suffer from extreme shock sometimes called “Paris Syndrome.” It is because they were completely unprepared for the reality of Paris not being the greatest place in the world.
  • Guy de Maupassant (the famed French writer) ate lunch at base of Eiffel Tower almost each day. His reason was that he hated the Eiffel Tower and that was the only place in the whole Paris from which he could not see it.
