Entry to the Country
Paris. Poets, artists, playwrights, writers,
journalists, and more have all written about
their love of this city. It’s a place that
exudes culture, sophistication, class, and
style. Like the millions before me, I fell in
love with this city the first time I visited.
Settled by Gallic tribes around the 3rd century
BCE, the region was conquered by the Romans a
couple of centuries later, turning it into a
prosperous settlement. By 508, Paris was made
the capital of the Merovingian dynasty. The city
was sacked by Vikings in 845 but recovered to
repel further Viking incursions. By the 12th
century, Paris was the economic and cultural hub
of all of France.
