Campus Spotlight: Paris

Paris: the City of Light, capital of fashion, city of love. All these nicknames can’t even begin to fully represent this city of a thousand faces.

Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. It is internationally known for the Louvre, Notre Dame, Eiffel Tower and for being a romantic and cultural city, in addition to its high-quality gastronomy and numerous cafes. 

This ancient city with a rich history has not forgotten to modernize and keep up with the times. Today, it is also the birthplace of many world-renowned high-tech companies and the heart of the French tech ecosystem.

Why Paris? 

Paris has always been at the heart of history. There are monuments and buildings from all eras; whatever your favorite historical period, you are bound to find a monument or museum that suits you. Some of its monuments and places, in particular the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Notre Dame, the Champs Élysées, and the Arc de Triomphe have become such strong symbols that they are regularly featured in films or series. 

In addition to its many monuments, Paris is also home to a multitude of museums (more than 144!). Whether you are passionate about art, science, or history, or if you want to introduce your friends or family to one of these fields, you are bound to find a museum in Paris that suits you.

Known worldwide for its gastronomy and its wines, there are many French specialities, both sweet and savory and a visit to Paris is the perfect opportunity to taste them. There are restaurants to suit all budgets and tastes, as well as exceptional bakeries and pastry shops.

Cafes and their terraces are an integral part of the Parisian lifestyle; you can find cafes on every street corner. Some of these cafes are known throughout the world and have hosted artists from all eras. The oldest café in Paris and in France is over 300 years old; sit on its terrace, have a drink, and watch life in the Parisian time.

Paris is not just a city of concrete; there are beautiful green spaces all over the capital and parks for walking, relaxing, or picnicking. Paris is also one of the fashion capitals of the world. This city of light has been associated with haute couture and major trends for several centuries. Chanel, Saint Laurent, Vuitton, Dior, Hermès...all these names familiar to fashion lovers got their start in Paris. Home to the famous Paris Fashion Week, this city hosts one of the most important events in the fashion world. As every fashionista in the world knows, Paris is a must for shopaholics.

In Paris, one out of every seven inhabitants is a foreigner; in France, one out of every ten foreigners lives in Paris and within Paris, two out of three foreigners are from countries outside the European community. These figures and this diversity are characteristic of a major capital city.
