Paris is a city of dreams, of romance and adventure. It is also the centre of elegance, fine food, beauty and culture. But it has its dark side. Its turbulent history and bloody revolution. All have left their mark on the city today. Our city insiders have picked some of the key locations in the city for you to discover - some are world-famous; others, perhaps less so. All, though, have added their own unique contribution to this fabulous city.
