Added: 12/20/2005

The historical center of Paris is the small island of Sieve, located on "la Seine" river, a place where the ancient capital of Gaul was established. The well-known la Notre Dame Parisienne is also placed on this island. It is here that the construction of the world famous Cathedral had continued for one-and-a-half centuries. The calculation of distance, to any part of France, and over all roads, starts from this historical place.

Although the distances between different sights are sometimes great, for example, the distance from the Triumphal arch to the Bastille area is almost 7 kilometers, and the distance from the Churches Sakre-Kyor located on well-known Montmartre to Monparnas is more than 5 kilometers, Paris is still considered top be a very compact city and Paris tour can be not that exhaustive. It is not difficult to find your way within the city: the secret is to drift with the current of the Seine River, which divides Paris into two parts: right- and left-banks. A dense network of the underground gives you the possibility to reach any part of the city very quickly.
