    PARIS

    Located in the heart of the Ile-de-France Region, Paris was originally settled as early as 250 B.C along the River Seine. The city is the capital of France, housing France's national government. Paris also currently houses 2,000,000 residents within its city limits, making it one of the more populated cities in Europe. Due to the city's location between vital river and land trade routes, It became one of France's principal cities by the 10th century, rich with palaces, landmarks, and cathedrals. Today, Paris is a global center for fashion, business, art, design, architecture, tourism and education, attracting 30 million visitors per year. It is nicknamed as 'The City of Romance' and 'The City of Light'. Paris is known for its yellow-tinted apartments, crazy and busy roads / transport systems, museums, history, iconic landmarks and business. Paris has a large influence on the world economy, with its GDP of €478.7 billion, It has one of the highest GDPs in Europe and 16th largest in the world.

    Built in the Champ de Mars along the River Seine, The Tour Eiffel stands 324 meters above Central Paris. Named and Designed by Gustave Eiffel for the World's Fair, It was ridiculed by the public and was usually called 'The Great Eyesore'. Parisians hated it so much, A petition was created to have the tower demolished. Even though much of the public hated the tower, on opening day, everyone had to come and see the tallest structure ever built. It kept its title until 1930 when New York's Chrysler Building was completed. For many years, It was used as a communication center, but today it is one of Paris' busiest tourist attractions.

    The world's largest traffic roundabout, also known as Arc de Triomphe, is located on the Place Charles de Gaulle Il'Étoile on the western end of Champs-Élysées. Napoleon commissioned the building of the arch in 1806 to celebrate his imperial victories, but a losing streak stalled its completion for over 30 years. Today, Names of French Generals who served in France's battles are encrypted on the Arc. Many tourist like climbing to the top to have a great perspective of the city. Because of the constant tornado of traffic, a tunnel was built to allow easy access to the Arc.

    L'église Sainte-Marie-Madeleine is centered at the end of rue Royale, a line sight between Gabriel's twin hôtels in the Place de la Concorde. La Madeleine was established in 1755 as Place Louis XV in a Neo-Classical style that was inspired by the Maison Carrée at Nîmes, a very well preserved Roman temple. La Madeline has fifty-two Corinthian collumns, each one 20 meters high, carried around the entire building. It is one of Paris' most well known landmarks.

    Opened in 1789, The Panthéon is a large building located in the Latin Quarter of Paris. It was originally built as a church dedicated to St. Genevieve, but after many changes, it now combines many functions with its role as a famous burial place. It is an early example of Neoclassicism with a facade modelled after the Pantheon in Rome.

    In 1672, King Louis XIV gave a patent to Jean-Baptiste Lully to establish the Académie Royale de Musique [Royal Academy of Music]. The Palais Garnier, also known as Opéra de Paris, was part of the great Parisian reconstruction of the Second French Empire instigated by Emperor Napoleon III. It was designed by Charles Garnier in the Neo-Baroque style and is regarded as an architectural masterpiece. The Palais Garnier is a 2,200 seat opera house home to many high-ranking plays.

    Tour Maine-Montparnasse is a 210-meter tall office skyscraper located at the heart of Paris in Montparnasse. When it opened its doors in 1972, It was, and currently is, the tallest skyscraper in France. The tower is built on top of Montparnasse - Bienvenüe Paris Métro station providing 59 floors of office space. Many Parisians mocked the tower because of its gigantic proprotions that look extremely out of place in Paris' urban landspace, as a result, the construction of skyscrapers in the city center was banned.

    The Odéon is located in the VIe arrondissement, next to the Luxembourg Garden. The Odéon was inaugurated by Marie-Antoinette on April 9, 1782. It was initially built to house the Comédie Française.The theater was renamed Théâtre de l'Europe in 1990 and is now a member theater of the Union of the Theatres of Europe.

    The Sacré-Cœur Basilica is a Roman Catholic basilica and popular landmark in Paris, dedicated to the Sacred Heart. The Basilica is located at the summit of the butte Montmatre, the highest point of the city. The idea for a church dedicated to the Sacred Heart developed after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870, in honor of the 58,000 who lost their lives in the war. The Basilica has a strong Romano-Byzantine influence taking 3 architects and almost 40 years to complete.

    Gare du Nord is one of the six large terminus stations of the SNCFF's main line network in Paris, with 180 million travellers crossing this station, it is the busiest SNCF station and the third busiest railway station in the world. The first Gare du Nord was built by Bridge and Roadway engineers from the Chemin de Fer du Nord Company. On June 14, 1846, The old station was inaugurated because it was far too small, but in 1864, The new station that we see today was opened to the public.

    Notre Dame is a Gothic cathedral on the eastern half of Île de la Cité. it is used as a Roman Catholic cathedral today, and is the seat of the Archbishop of Paris. Notre Dame de Paris is considered one of the finest examples of Gothic French architecture. Thanks to Viollet-le-Duc, one of France's most famous architects, It was saved from destruction.

I liked the london eye and the pickl.. I mean, gherkin, I think that is it in the bottom of one of the pics.  Idk, it just makes me laugh.

    Paris looks good too, love the eiffel tower mosaic.  Hmm, I didn't know the Arc de Triomphe was in the middle of a roundabout... well, ya learn something new every day lol.  The sims seem confused as to which way to go... Anyway, i also liked the notre dame pic, I adore gothic architecture. 

    Ellie's idea of Washington DC would be awesome to see.  (wow, rhyme...) I love DC 2.gif  But i think i said that already... Great couple of updates hotdogs9.gif

    aljkfsshdf........*faints* You make Brunswick look like rubber cement! I like that! Especially that shot of the London Eye. One thing I admire about your cj is no brown boxes, smucges, or missing textures. No dilapadation either. You're good with Photoshop obviously. 3.gif That Eiffel pic is amazing as well. I lvoe the saturation as always! Keep it up hotdogs! Don't let the hamburgers stop you!
