Brilliant Paris - the dream of all Russians without exception . This city beckons, attracts, excites and drives mad . It's hard to say what exactly attracts our compatriots who are eager for the French capital despite the weather, the exchange rate and the headache . Maybe it's first-class restaurants with Michelin stars or fantastic shopping in the best European fashion houses, especially joyful in the sales period . Someone just needs to bring their child to the legendary Disneyland and show that iron gizmo y, which Hugo did not like, so he always dined at the restaurant on its top . Other people can not live without seeing the famous Monet lilies in nature, as well as compulsory going to the Louvre, Marmottan or Orsay . (Seeing and to die is not terrible .) A separate category of frenzied fans of the sun-kings and the like Ludovikov makes a voyage to the suburbs of Paris - Versailles and Fontainebleau . There are ordinary mortals who slowly enjoy the crazy life of the French capital in the shadow of the chestnut and the accompaniment of the ubiquitous croissant with coffee . But hell, Paris is just good, and there are no reasons to visit here!
