Welcome to Paris, the "City of Light," one of the world's most visited destinations for decades. The French capital is home to hundreds of corners steeped in history and legends that deserve to be discovered leisurely, at your own pace. Because Paris is a magical place that continues to surprise locals and visitors alike and envelops travelers in a unique atmosphere. Is it because it's considered one of the world's centers of art, design, and good taste? There's no doubt that its attractions are countless: 137 museums like the Louvre, the Orsay, and the Pompidou; beautiful temples like the Royal Basilica of Saint Denis and Notre Dame Cathedral; urban parks like the Tuileries Garden; hidden treasures like its 300 kilometers of catacombs; and, of course, the Champs-Élysées, the Arc de Triomphe, and the legendary Eiffel Tower, from where you can enjoy unparalleled views. We also recommend a trip to Versailles, 22 kilometers west of Paris, to discover its magnificent Palace. Paris also awaits you, allowing you to breathe in its bon vivant spirit and enjoy life's pleasures, perhaps sitting at a table in one of its 8,000 terraced cafes, its typical bistros, or its elegant, internationally renowned restaurants.
Beyond the seas, in the heart of French Polynesia, located in the South Pacific, lie the Îles de la Société (Society Islands), a French overseas territory in the form of an archipelago that includes some of the most beautiful islands on the planet. The largest is Tahiti, which encompasses some 1,042 km² of true earthly paradise. Discover the black sand beaches of the east coast, the white sand beaches of the west coast, the lush valleys, and the majestic circular peaks that make this destination a true journey to the center of nature. Don't miss its charming and enigmatic Aboriginal culture, such as its "marae," the pre-Christian sacred sites delimited by stones or wooden posts called "pair," its enchanting dance performances known as "ori," and its traditional music concerts. In its bustling capital, Papeete, you'll find everything from refined restaurants and nightclubs to vibrant and colorful markets, interesting museums, shops selling black pearls—one of the archipelago's star products—and all kinds of shops.
Known as the "romantic island," on Bora Bora you can admire the hibiscus trees on the hills and valleys of Mount Otemanu, enjoy perfect white-sand beaches, dive into the deep blue waters, discover one of the most beautiful lagoons on the planet, boasting infinite shades of blue and teeming with magically colored fish and coral... in short, the ideal place to rest and relax.
