Paris can bring to mind thoughts of old European style, romance, and luxury. Even though the city is now full of modern conveniences, traditional luxury still exists within its five-star hotels. Paris offers endless opportunities for visitors to explore, whether you want to eat in gourmet restaurants, shop in designer boutiques, or visit the major attractions, such as the Eiffel Tower, which receives 6.9 million visitors a year, according to "Lonely Planet."
