Paris A-Z revisited
[like]
The city of light and love has so much to offer, it boggles the mind. Proposing at the Eiffel Tower, shopping on the Champs-Elysées, or enjoying some Haute Cuisine in a Seineside restaurant; Paris will keep you occupied for several lifetimes.
This alphabetical introduction, courtesy of Eva, is not enough to cover all of Paris’ beauty, but it will give you some insight and ideas for your next trip to France.
Arc de Triomphe
At the western end of the renowned Champs Elysées you’ll find one of Paris’ most famous monuments, the Arc de Triomphe. With its impressive 50m height, this arch is one of the largest in the world. Don’t risk your life crossing the Place Charles de Gaulle (one of the busiest roundabouts in Paris), but instead take the ‘passerelle’ tunnel to have a closer look at the inscriptions on the arch and the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, or to admire the stunning view of the Eiffel Tower and Grande Arche.

Having fostered innumerable literary genii including Christopher Marlowe, John Milton, and the dictionary’s own Samuel Johnson, it’s perfectly fair that we finally allow London its own alphabetical compendium. Neither exhaustive nor completely reliable, what follows could quite accurately be regarded as the tip of the iceberg in terms of English attraction and intrigue. Nevertheless, it will suffice as an introduction to this most worthy of capitals.
A is for….
Aside from sharing a name with the Trotters’ hapless uncle in London-based sitcom ‘Only Fools and Horses’, Prince Albert was husband to England’s Queen Victoria who reigned, coincidentally, throughout the entire Victorian era. Following Albert’s death, his name was given to Albertopolis, an area directly south of Hyde Park that contains numerous attractions and architectural stunners, including the Royal Colleges of Music and Art, the Victoria and Albert Museum, the Science Museum, and the UNESCO listed Royal Albert Hall. The Albert Memorial stands across the road from here, just inside Hyde Park.
B is for…
The English have been drinking gin for millions and millions of years, even since before the invention of juniper berries.
