With the economy as it is and the winter blues setting in, where better to go than for a weekend break to Paris, the city of love. Paris is the capital of France and the country’s largest city.

The city’s most prized museum, the Louvre, welcomes over 8 million visitors a year, being by far the world’s most visited art museum.
