Car Rental Paris

Introduction:

Paris is the capital of France, situated in north central France, is the largest city of the country, on the River Seine, some 370 km (230 mi) from its Atlantic Ocean outlet at Le Havre.

Paris is situated in a low-lying basin; relief within the city is generally slight, although the elevation gradually increases from the river to the low hills that ring the city's edge.

The Paris metropolitan area contains nearly 20 per cent of the nation's inhabitants and dominates the economic, cultural, and political life of France to a profound degree.

The centralizing philosophy of successive governments has historically favored Paris, often called the "city of light", nd thousand axioms justifies the hype, as the site for all decision making, thus exercising a powerful attraction on virtually all of the nation's activities.

Paris has a temperate climate with mild winters (January mean temperature 2.8° C/37° F), cool summers (July mean temperature 18.9° C/66° F), and evenly distributed annual precipitation.

Roughly circular in shape, Paris is divided by the lifeblood River Seine which enters in the south-east and loops to the north before leaving the city in the south-west, that splits the city neatly in two and the useful arrondissements system neatly carves Paris into manageable chunks. The river contains two islands: the Île de la Cité and the smaller Île St Louis. The original site of Paris was on the Île de la Cité and the adjacent left (south) bank of the river.
