Quotations Page - Your Source for Famous Quotes (p)(f) How to Spend a Few Days in Paris -The School of Life Articles Paris is one of the world’s most famous and visited cities. How should one spend a couple of days there? By answering this, we’ll be examining a host of questions about travel more generally. Often a trip to Paris is organised around a homage to culture.
