Ile de France
Is a small region that in fact is formed by the city of
Paris and its area of influence. It has been described
as "the garden of the kings" by the amount of
charming places that hoards. Near Paris are points of
interest like the Versailles, Vaux-him-Vicomte or Fontainebleau
palaces, as well as the medieval city of Provins. Paris
is the capital of the country and one of most important
cities of Europe.
Its historical-cultural legacy is of such dimensions that
are necessary several weeks to know it thoroughly. Most
of places of interest are around the Seine river: the
museum of Louvre, Champ Elisees, Eiffel Tower, the Notre-Dame
cathedral, or the cemetery of Pêre Lachaise - place
of rest of personalities that go from Oscar Wilde to Jim
Morrison-. Nevertheless, there is another modern and avant
garde Paris represented by the Pompidou Centre and the
districts of La Défense and La Villette.
