PARIS

The history of Paris is more than twenty five hundred years old and at that time it was just a small sized Gallic settlement that turned into a multicultural capital and one of the world's biggest global cities. The archeologists suggest that the settlement began in Paris in about 250BC by a tribe called Celtic. Paris came under the dominance of the Romans in 52BC when a revolt took place. It was under the rule of Romans that the city experienced a lot of growth on all the aspects. Another important aspect of the city's history is the hundred year long war between France and British from which the British came as winners and seized the entire city in the year 1420.

Paris is usually called the cradle of the French culture as it is filled with galleries, churches and museums. The architectural grandeur and the luxurious lifestyle of the city residents add more to the culture of the city. Some other important elements of the Parisian culture are ethnic dances, festival celebrations, cuisine, paintings and much more.  The culture of Paris gives an opportunity to the people of Paris to enjoy their life to the fullest.
