Paris is the capital and largest city of France, with an estimated city population of 2.04 million in an area of 105.4 km2 (40.7 sq mi), as of January 2026, and a metropolitan population of 13.3 million (2023). Located on the Seine in the centre of the Île-de-France region, it is the largest metropolitan area and fourth-most populous city in the European Union (EU). Paris is nicknamed the "City of Light" mainly due to its leading role in the Age of Enlightenment.

Paris is a small town with a rich history and culture. Founded in 1775, it was named after the French capital as a tribute to France's support during the American Revolution. The town's historic downtown district is lined with beautiful 19th-century architecture and charming boutiques, antique shops, and restaurants.

One of the most popular attractions in Paris is the Bourbon County Courthouse, a stunning example of classical architecture that was built in 1903. The courthouse is located in the heart of downtown and is surrounded by a beautiful park that is perfect for a picnic or a leisurely stroll.
