CONNECTING TOParis
💡 Paris is called the "City of Light." It was one of the first big cities to light up its streets with lamps.
🌟 The Eiffel Tower sparkles for five minutes every hour after dark. On hot days it grows a little taller, because metal stretches in the heat.
🖼️ The Louvre is the world's most-visited museum. Its most famous painting, the Mona Lisa, is smaller than you might think.
🎠 You will spot painted carousels all over the city. Many parks have one, so keep your eyes open for the next ride.
🏛️ Long ago, Paris was a small Roman town called Lutèce. You can still see a real Roman arena at the Arènes de Lutèce (PAR-POI-48).

🛶 Long ago, Paris was a small town on an island in the middle of a big river called the Seine.
-
👑 Over time, kings built palaces, bridges crossed the water, and busy markets filled the streets.
-
🌃 Today, Paris is a city of bright lights, tall towers, green parks and boats gliding down the river.
