Au Pair France

Many people consider Paris to be the “capital of the world.” Paris, one of the world’s largest cities, is situated on Seine River, near the heart of France. Paris is known for its fashion, art, education, and famous landmarks. The Eiffel Tower, Cathedral of Notre Dame, Arc de Triomphe, and the Louvre-one of the largest art museums in the world, can all be found in Paris. On Bastille Day, France’s national holiday, people celebrate the capture of Bastille, a prison, during the reknown French Revolution of 1789. It all happens on July 14th ; the national parade through Paris!
