PARIS, FRANCE
Long a hub of French culture, cuisine and
architectural splendour, Paris is known as one
of the most romantic destinations in the world.
Walking along its tree-lined boulevards and along
the banks of the Seine, it is easy to see why this
little corner of Europe is so admired and beloved.
Music, film, architecture, literature, dance, and the
visual arts are all well represented in the museums,
theaters, bookstores and remarkably preserved
buildings of this magnificent city.
You will find many leading classical musicians
perform at major concert venues such as the
Maison de la Radio, the Théâtre des Champs-
Elysées and the Théâtre du Châtelet. However,
the city is also home to myriad genres and offers
a flourishing musical line-up each year, where off
stage you may hear music in the streets or churches
as you stroll its pretty cobblestone lanes. Paris has
also given rise to some of the most iconic musicians
in Europe over the past century, including Edith
Piaf and Brigitte Bardot.
