There is the Paris of History :
the site has been inhabited since Palaeolithic times. The city grew from an island on the Seine settled by a Gallic tribe, the Parish (2nd century B.C.), hence its name.

There is the Paris of every day, with its hundred villages and "small trades". This is the Paris where it is so pleasant to live, with its secret gardens like the ones on the banks of the Seine, or in the Marais and Saint-Germain des Pres.

There is the Paris of monuments, which the entire world seems to have known for a long time: Notre-Dame, the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, the Sacre Coeur,...

And of course there is the bubbling, imaginative and lively Paris, always ready for a party or for a show, the Paris of the arts and of creativity.

Paris is also a city of challenge, ambition, and determination to succeed.

And there is the dynamic and active business world of Paris,with its constant economic revival. Paris is also a city of major works from which is emerging the modern face of the 20th century, that of Bercy, the new Montparnasse and the Left Bank.

These are the thousand and one faces of Paris which all the players and spectators of the 1998 World Cup will be able to discover, a Paris which has no intention of becoming a museum city but which discloses itself by chance, when wandering through its streets, meeting its people, encountering the unexpected. It is a city which belongs to the realm of the imagination.
