City of Lights

Did you know that Paris is the most visited city in the world with over 70 million visitors each year? Paris is full of history, beauty, and charm. 8th Agers know a lot about Paris. They have learned about the Seine River that divides the city into two parts: la Rive Gauche (The Left Bank) and la Rive Droite  (The Right Bank). And they know some history and interesting facts about many of the famous landmarks in Paris: Notre Dame, le Métro, l'Arc de Triomphe, l'Obélisque, le Louvre, la Tour Eiffel, and l'Opéra.
