Today is high time for
next journey and answer the question what
is worth to visit in … Paris?! I think the city is amazing and there it’s not
overstatement. For me – marvelous and I wish to go there once again in the
future. My journeys are the most often very short but I’m trying to visit as
many places as I can. Before I’ll present you my top 5 of Paris, few words about the city. I think that all of you
know that’s the capital of France J It’s situated on
the River Seine and its history lead us to 1st century BC. The name is made from earliest inhabitants –
Parisii, the Gaulish tribe.
As all cities, Paris had
its ups and downs. The first were connected with Houses of Capetians, Valois
and Bourbons from X to XIX century. 1789 was a year when The Bastille (fortress
in Paris) was stormed by a crowd – it’s the beginning of French Revolution
which was also the end of the House of Bourbons. Paris was also the city were
many Polish emigrated, especially in XIX century –Adam Mickiewicz, Fryderyk
Chopin, Cyprian Kamil Norwid and Juliusz Słowacki. There is Polish Library from
1839 which was created by Adam Czartoryski, Julian Niemcewicz and Karol Sienkiewicz. It’s the oldest Polish
institution abroad. Today Paris has a lot of problems with immigrants – there
are a lot of them.
