From Paris with Love

   Whenever people ask me about the place I've always wanted to go, I will simply say "Paris". Then they'll ask me "Why Paris?" Why not other beautiful cities?" Here's why.
Paris is located at France, it is the place where fashion, culture, arts and music are beautifully fabricated together. It is also called the "City of Lights" because it has an amazing scenery during the night and also known as the "City of Romance"
Paris,
     France is one of the amazing places an individual could ever been. As the statistics says, over 7 million of people visit each year. There are so many phenomenal things to see and you'll never get bored. The Eiffel tower named after is main contractor and architect Gustavo Eiffel is the most prominent landmark in Paris.
    For just a small fee you can take the elevator to top and from that topview it's very spectacular. Based on the history it took 2 years to build the Eiffel tower and actually it is not just build for tourist attraction or world exhibition but also used as a radio transmission tower.
    Another famous landmark in Paris is the Versailles Palace which is the most extravagant building in the world. It has over 700 rooms, 2000 windows, and 1250 fireplaces. And the whole property is 19262 acres.
    In the field of Arts and Culture, the famous Louvre museum could also be found in the Paris where the artifacts from Egypt, Greece and Rome could be seen. The Mona Lisa by Leonardo Da Vinci is also displayed.

 Paris has a typical Western European oceanic climate (Köppen climate classification: Cfb ) which is affected by the North Atlantic Current. The overall climate throughout the year is mild and moderately wet.[69] Summer days are usually warm and pleasant with average temperatures hovering between 15 and 25 °C (59 and 77 °F), and a fair amount of sunshine. Each year, however, there are a few days where the temperature rises above 32 °C (90 °F). Some years have even witnessed long periods of harsh summer weather, such as the heat wave of 2003 when temperatures exceeded 30 °C (86 °F) for weeks, surged up to 40 °C (104 °F) on some days and seldom cooled down at night. More recently, the average temperature for July 2011 was 17.6 °C (63.7 °F), with an average minimum temperature of 12.9 °C (55.2 °F) and an average maximum temperature of 23.7 °C (74.7 °F).

Spring and autumn have, on average, mild days and fresh nights but are changing and unstable. Surprisingly warm or cool weather occurs frequently in both seasons.In winter, sunshine is scarce; days are cold but generally above freezing with temperatures around 7 °C (45 °F). Light night frosts are however quite common, but the temperature will dip below −5 °C (23 °F) for only a few days a year. Snowfall is uncommon, but the city sometimes sees light snow or flurries with or without accumulation.
Rain falls throughout the year, and although Paris is not a very rainy city, it is known for intense sudden showers. Average annual precipitation is 652 mm (25.7 in) with light rainfall fairly distributed throughout the year. The highest recorded temperature is 40.4 °C (104.7 °F) on 28 July 1948, and the lowest is a −23.9 °C (−11.0 °F) on 10 December 1879.
