IntroductionParis, the capital of France, is located in northern France on both banks of the Seine River, 145 km (90 mi.) from the river's mouth on the English Channel. A total of 2,257,981 (2009) inhabitants live in Paris proper, and 11,728,240 persons (2009) live in greater Paris (the Ile-de-France region), which is one of Europe's largest metropolitan areas. A city of world importance and the business, historic, intellectual, diplomatic, religious, educational, artistic, and tourist center of France, Paris owes its prosperity in large part to its favorable position on the Seine, which has been a major commercial artery since the Roman period.Economy Paris has been one of the major cities of Europe since the Middle Ages, but the development of the city as it exists today occurred in the second half of the 19th century. Its greatest growth came during a 40-year period after 1850, when the population doubled in size to more than 2 million; it reached a peak in 1921 (2,906,500), after which people began migrating away from the city. Since then, as homes have been replaced by offices in Paris proper, most of the growth has occurred in the suburbs, where a large portion of the blue-collar work force lives. Of a total of 2 million commuters, about half travel daily from the outlying areas to the city center, and half travel from central Paris to the suburbs.The economic activities of Paris overshadow those of any other part of France in importance and complexity. About 65 percent of the nation's bank and corporate headquarters are in the city. Much of the industry in central Paris is of the small-scale craft type, based on skill and most often family owned. Many of these industries make luxury items such as perfumes, furs, gloves, jewelry, toys, clothing, wooden articles, and other high-value goods.Book printing and publishing are major activities in central Paris. Heavier industries are situated in the suburbs. These include the manufacture of automobiles, machine tools, railroad rolling stock, electric and electronic products, chemicals, and processed foods. Construction and the production of building materials are also important. Tourism, however, is by far the city's largest source of income; it is one of Europe's leading tourist attractions.Government Paris is divided into 20 unequally sized arrondissements, or districts, each with its own mayor. Each of these is again divided into four sections. Two prefects and a mayor administer the city as a whole with the assistance of a general council.TransportationParis is the head of barge and ship navigation on the Seine and is the fourth most important port in France (after Marseille, Le Havre, and Dunkerque). The Loire, Rhine, Rhône, Meuse, and Scheldt rivers can be reached by canals connecting with the Seine, and a large amount of the imports and exports of the city are transported via water. Total freight carried to and from the port annually amounts to 43 million U.S. tons. Paris is also a major rail, highway, and air transportation hub. Two international airports, Roissy-Charles de Gaulle (CDG) and Orly, as well as Le Bourget (for private aircraft), serve the city. CDG ranks as the fifth busiest international airport in the world, and Orly as the seventh.The city's subway system, the Métro, was opened on July 19, 1900, its first line being from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Maillot. Engineer Fulgence Bienvenüe oversaw the construction phase, while architect Hector Guimarddesigned the decorative Art Nouveau entrances. The system boasts 213 km (132 miles) of track and 16 lines (including two auxiliary lines). There are 300 stations (not including RER stations); 87 of these offer interchanges between lines. A total of 3553 cars transport roughly 6 million people per day, while the system itself employed 10,141 (not including RER) in 2010. Every building in Paris is within 500 meters (3/10 mile) of a métro station. TheRéseau Express Régional (RER), inaugurated in the 1960s, connects the city with its outlying suburbs.。

As the capital of France, Paris is a modern city with a long and rich history. So many events took place here and there are so many places for the visitors to have a trip. The Tower Eiffel, which is 320 meters high, is the symbol of Paris. It was completed in 1889 for the centenary of the Revolution. The Arc de Triomphe was finished in 1836. It's a world famous building, too. Old Notre-Dame attracts many foreign visitors since Victor Hugo wrote a novel named Notre-Dame de Paris.

Meet Mickey, fly with Dumbo and lost yourselves in wonderland 回答者：sharain - 魔法师 四级 6-19 20:16Paris, the capital of France, lies on both banks of the Seine （塞纳河）. Paris is small: it has a total area of 105 square kilometres （平方公里）； but it is wonderful: Paris is a city with love, a great cuisine （烹饪）， and famous architecture. The city has fascinated （迷住） writers, poets, and painters. Thomas Appleton (1812-84), a U.S. author, once said, “Good Americans, when they die, go to Paris.” Known as the City of Light, Paris has been a major tourist destination for centuries. The city is famous not only for the beauty of its architecture and avenues （街道）， but also for its museums. Paris is divided into two parts: the Right Bank to the north and Left Bank to the south. It is the heart of the French- speaking world. The Eiffel Tower is the most popular attraction in France and a landmark （标志性建筑） of the country. Two million people visited it the first year it was built, and almost 6 million people a year today. The Eiffel Tower was designed by the French engineer Alexandre Gustave Eiffel for the Paris Exposition （巴黎博览会） of 1889. People spent 2 years, 2 months and 5 days (1887 to 1889) building it. It was the highest building in the world at that time. The Eiffel tower has been painted 17 times since it was built. 50 tons of dark brown paint are needed to cover the tower every 7 years. The names of the 72 French scientists are written on the sides of the tower. Around 400 people have fallen from the tower, mostly to kill themselves. The Arc of Triumph, is the largest triumphal （庆祝胜利的） arch （拱门） in the world. Napoleon Bonaparte （拿破仑） ordered people to build it to commemorate （纪念） his victory in 1806, but he was ousted （驱逐） before the arch was finished in I836. The Arc of Triumph is 50 meters high. It can be seen from nearly every part of Paris. The Arc of Triumph is engraved （雕刻） with names of generals （将军） of French army during Napoleon's time. The Notre-Dame isn't the largest cathedral （教堂） in the world, but it certainly is the most famous. French people started to build it in 1163. Almost 200 years later in 1345 the cathedral was finished: 130 meters long with two 69- meter-tall towers. During the French Revolution （法国大革命[1789-1799]）, the cathedral was damaged （毁坏）. During the 19th century it was restored （重修） by a famous architect. It was restored again between 1991 and 2001. The site of the Notre-dame is the cradle （摇篮） of Paris and the religious （宗教的） center of the city. The Seine runs through the center of Paris, passing 10 of the 20 districts （区）. The river is 776 kilometers long, France's second longest river. The Seine has always been the heart and soul of Paris. The old buildings, the riverboats, the gardens, and the 32 bridges are one of the best natural scenes of the world. The oldest bridge was built in 1578. The newest one was finished in the summer of 1996. From the water, visitors can see the Cathedral of Notre-Dame, the Louvre （卢浮宫）， and the Eiffel Tower. The northern side of the river is called the Right Bank and the southern side the Left Bank. The Banks were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites （联合国教科文组织的世界遗产名单） in 1991.。
4. 描述巴黎的英语文章Paris has long inspired opinionated outbursts, from delusional to denouncing, but on one matter travelers remain in agreement: it's among the most stimulating cities in the world. Paris assaults all the senses, demanding to be seen, heard, touched, tasted and smelt. From luminescent landmarks to fresh poodle droppings on the pavement, the city is everything it should be - the very essence of all French things. If you come here expecting all you've heard to be true, you won't leave disappointed. Paris is at its best during the temperate spring months (March to May), with autumn coming in a close second. In winter, there are all sorts of cultural events to tempt the visitor, but school holidays can clog the streets with the little folk. August is usually hot and sticky, and it's also when many Parisians take their yearly vacations, so businesses are likely to be closed. 巴黎是法国的首都，是一座历史名城，也是风格出众、浪漫迷人的名都，素有“世界花都”之称。
雄伟庄严的凯旋门和屹立于塞纳河畔的艾菲尔铁塔是巴黎及法国的标志。协和广场、香谢丽舍大道、还有代表着古老巴黎的圣母院、收藏有举世闻名的梦娜丽莎、维纳斯、胜利女神这三宝的卢浮宫及美仑美奂的凡尔赛宫、总统府——爱丽舍宫等等，美不胜收，让人永生难忘。
每年的三月到五月是到巴黎旅游的最好的时节。在冬季巴黎也有很多的文化活动能够吸引众多游客，不过因为寒假的关系，街上的行人会比较少。
八月份炎热潮湿，不过这个月也是众多巴黎人出游的月份，所以各类商店很有可能会关门歇业。所以8月份并不是游巴黎的好时间。
Musée du Louvre 卢浮宫 Louvre is probably one of the most world-renowned sightseeing places in Paris. This enormous building, constructed around 1200 as a fortress and rebuilt in the mid-16th century for use as a royal palace, began its career as a public museum in 1793. As part of Mitterand's grands projets in the 1980s, the Louvre was revamped with the addition of a 21m (67ft) glass pyramid entrance. Initially deemed a failure, the new design has since won over those who regard consistency as inexcusably boring. Vast scrums of people puff and pant through the rooms full of paintings, sculptures and antiquities, including the Mona Lisa, Venus de Milo and Winged Victory (which looks like it's been dropped and put back together). If the clamor becomes unbearable, your best bet is to pick a period or section of the Louvre and pretend that the rest is somewhere across town. 坐落在巴黎市中心的卢浮宫是举世瞩的艺术殿堂和万宝之宫，它建于十二世纪末。卢浮宫共分六个部分：希腊罗马艺术馆、埃及艺术馆、东方艺术馆、绘画馆、雕塑馆和装饰艺术馆。
人们一涉足这艺术的海洋，总是先睹其中最著名的“镇宫三宝”，即“爱神维纳斯”、“胜利女神尼卡”和“蒙娜丽莎”。 Eiffel Tower 艾菲尔铁塔 This towering edifice was built for the World Fair of 1889, held to commemorate the centennial of the French Revolution. Named after its designer, Gustave Eiffel, it stands 320m (1050ft) high and held the record as the world's tallest structure until 1930. Initially opposed by the city's artistic and literary elite - who were only affirming their right to disagree with everything - the tower was almost torn down in 1909. Salvation came when it proved an ideal platform for the antennas needed for the new science of radio telegraphy. When you're done peering upwards through the girders, you can visit any of the three public levels, which can be accessed by lift or stairs. 艾菲尔铁塔是法国巴黎的象征。
一到夜晚，在灯光的照射下，铁塔仿佛变成了“玻璃塔”，玲珑剔透，成为巴黎的奇景之一。 艾菲尔铁塔建于一八八九年，由建筑师艾菲尔设计，全塔高三百零七米。
塔楼分为三层：一、二楼有餐厅、咖啡座等，三楼是眺望台，在天晴的日子，可从此眺望七十公里以外的巴黎近郊地区。 Notre Dame 巴黎圣母院 The city's cathedral ranks as one of the greatest achievements of Gothic architecture. Notre Dame was begun in 1163 and completed around 1345; the massive interior can accommodate over 6000 worshippers. Although Notre Dame is regarded as a sublime architectural achievement, there are all sorts of minor anomalies as the French love nothing better than to mess with things. These include a trio of main entrances that are each shaped differently, and which are accompanied by statues that were once coloured to make them more effective as Bible lessons for the hoi polloi. The interior is dominated by spectacular and enormous rose windows, and a 7800-pipe organ that was recently restored but has not been working properly since. From the base of the north tower, visitors with ramrod straight spines can climb to the top of the west fa?ade and decide how 。
5. 描写巴黎的英语Paris is a huge city with several district articles containing sightseeing, restaurant, nightlife and accommodation listings — consider printing them all.

6. 有关于巴黎的唯美文字1.
如果没有Eiffel 巴黎也就不再是巴黎了吧
2.世界那么大，你怎么知道除了巴黎之外，没有别处在等你？
如果幸福不在巴黎，就一定在别处。可是我的世界已没有巴黎，只有你。
3.巴黎依然在飞速下沉。我无可逃遁。蓝天在黑色的云缝里闪烁--那些黑色的原始森林一般的钢架，从我的头顶两边炸裂开去。是用那透明的铁盒子撞开的么？就象汽车的窗玻璃掠开路旁的树枝。蓝天忽然近了，又忽然远了，远得更加冷酷。永远被那一双双黑色的手臂阻拦着。时而又是无数根钢缆铁索，缠绕你，勒紧你，使你永远无法到达那个超然于一切之上的境界。
7. 用英语写一个关于巴黎的一小段话Paris, the world's most popular city destination, has plenty of must-see places
but make sure you spend at least a day strolling off the beaten path, as this is
the only way to discover the real Paris: a lively cosmopolitan but undeniably
French city.
8. 用英语来描绘巴黎的景色Well informed, eloquent and oh-so-romantic, the 'City of Light' is a philosopher, a poet, a crooner. As it always has been, Paris is a million different things to a million different people. Advertisement Paris has all but exhausted the superlatives that can reasonably be applied to any city. Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower –at sunrise, at sunset, at night – have been described countless times, as have the Seine and the subtle (and not-so-subtle) differences between the Left and Right Banks. But what writers have been unable to capture is the grandness and even the magic. Paris probably has more familiar landmarks than any other city in the world. As a result, first-time visitors often arrive in the French capital with all sorts of expectations: of grand vistas, of intellectuals discussing weighty matters in cafés, of romance along the Seine, of naughty nightclub revues, of rude people who won't speak English. If you look hard enough, you can probably find all of those. But another approach is to set aside the preconceptions of Paris and to explore the city's avenues and backstreets as if the tip of the Eiffel Tower or the spire of Notre Dame wasn't about to pop into view at any moment.。
9. 描述巴黎的英语文章Paris Paris is the capital and largest city in France, situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. The city of Paris, within its administrative limits largely unchanged since 1860, has an estimated population of 2,211,297 (January 2008), but the Paris metropolitan area has a population of 11,899,544 (January 2008), and is one of the most populated metropolitan areas in Europe. Paris was the largest city in the Western world for about 1,000 years, prior to the 19th century, and the largest in the entire world between the 16th and 19th centuries. 【Geography】 Paris is located in the north-bending arc of the river Seine and includes two islands, the Île Saint-Louis and the larger Île de la Cité， which form the oldest part of the city. Overall, the city is relatively flat, and the lowest point is 35 m (115 ft) above sea level. Paris has several prominent hills, of which the highest is Montmartre at 130 m (427 ft). Excluding the outlying parks of Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes, Paris covers an oval measuring 86.928 km2 (34 sq mi) in area. The city's last major annexation of outlying territories in 1860 not only gave it its modern form but also created the twenty clockwise-spiralling arrondissements (municipal boroughs). From the 1860 area of 78 km2 (30 sq mi), the city limits were expanded marginally to 86.9 km2 (34 sq mi) in the 1920s. In 1929, the Bois de Boulogne and Bois de Vincennes forest parks were officially annexed to the city, bringing its area to the present 105.39 km2 (41 sq mi).【Climate】 Paris has the typical Western European oceanic climate which is affected by the North Atlantic Current. Over a year, Paris' climate can be described as mild and moderately wet. Summer days are usually warm and pleasant with average temperatures hovering between 15 and 25 °C, 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 some long periods of harsh summer weather, such as the heat wave of 2003 where 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, with an average minimum temperature of 12.9 ° and an average maximum temperature of 23.7 °C. 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 rare, but the city sometimes sees light snow or flurries with or without accumulation. Recently, notably in 2009 and 2010, cold waves brought repeated heavy snowfalls (15 cm (5.91 in) in 2010) and temperatures plummeting to −10 °C (14 °F) and −20 °C （−4 °F） in the Paris suburbs. Rain falls throughout the year, and although Paris is not a very rainy city, it is known for heavy 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 (105 °F) on 28 July 1948, and the lowest is a −23.9 °C （−11 °F） on 10 December 1879.【Tourism】 Since 1848, Paris is a popular destination by rail network, with Paris at its centre. Among Paris' first mass attractions drawing international interest were the above-mentioned Expositions Universelles that were the origin of Paris' many monuments, namely the Eiffel Tower from 1889. These, in addition to the capital's Second Empire embellishments, did much to make the city itself the attraction it is today. Paris' museums and monuments are among its highest-esteemed attractions; tourism has motivated both the city and national governments to create new ones. 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. The city's cathedrals are another main attraction: Notre Dame de Paris and the Basilique du Sacré-Coeur receive 12 million and eight million visitors, respectively. The Eiffel Tower, by far Paris' most famous monument, averages over six million visitors per year and more than 200 million since its construction. Disneyland Paris is a major tourist attraction for visitors to not only Paris but also the rest of Europe, with 14.5 million visitors in 2007. The Louvre is one of the world's largest and most famo。
10. 描写法国的英语作文Last summer I went to Paris with my parents. I was very excited and happy.
Since we don't speak French, we joined a tour to Paris. It last a week.
We visited the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, Palace Louvre and Palace Versailles. I like palace Louvre most because I saw Da Vinci's the Last Supper there. I also liked the Eiffel Tower because we could see most part of Paris at the top.
We also sightsee many churches. Honestly, seeing church after church bored me to no end.
.
The trip was mostly enjoyable. I promise myself to go back to Paris again. Next time, I am going to stay longer and will not join a tour. Paris is such a big city that I want to take a closer look.
That trip was a memorable one!
