and red. It is known to English speakers as
the French Tricolour or simply the Tricolour
6. Paris
Everyone has their own reasons to visit
Paris, of course, but there is much to like
there. It is a city full of incredible energy
and loaded with history, art, museums
galore, architecture, great food and wine,
fashion, music, parks, amazing views,
fantastic breads and chocolate. Especially
bread and chocolate. Try a "pique-nique" on
the shores of the Seine, or on a bench with a
view of the Eiffel Tower. It's a wonderful
place just to walk around .
7. Mona Lisa
The Mona Lisa (La Gioconda or La
Joconde, or Portrait of Lisa Gherardini,
wife of Francesco del Giocondo[1]) is a
half-length portrait of a woman by
the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci,
which has been acclaimed as "the best
known, the most visited, the most
written about, the most sung about,
the most parodied work of art in the
world.
8. Eiffel Tower
In 1889, when the Tower Eiffel was completed, it was
the tallest building in the world at 300m. The Eiffel
Tower was originally built as a temporary structure
to commemorate the centennial of the French
Revolution. To the world's benefit the tower was
never torn down and since, the Eiffel Tower has
become an enduring symbol of the city of Paris.
9. King of Franca
directly, out of the declining Carolingian Empire.
Opinions vary as to who the 'first' French king was,
and the following list includes all of the transitional
monarchs, including Louis I. Although Louis wasn't
king of the modern entity we call France, all the
later French Louis' (culminating with Louis XVIII in
1824) were numbered sequentially, using him as the
starting point.
