30/9/24 - Paris

Paris is an island (île) on the river called the Seine.

Paris is the capital of France.

A tribe inhabited it, called the Parisii, who gave their name to the city. They were Celts.

At that time, they didn’t have trains, so living next to the river was very convenient (boats).

It's split into 2 parts:

La rive droite is the north,

and la rive gauche is the south.

Paris is shaped like a snail.

It is divided into 20 arrondissements.

There are many bridges in Paris.

The bridge called "the new bridge" is actually the oldest.

In 1985, an artist called Cristo, as an artistic project, gift-wrapped the whole bridge.
