Paris is the capital city of France. It is the centre of business,
entertainment and fashion and is famous for its many beautiful buildings.
The city was first built, hundreds of years ago,
on an island in the middle of the river Seine.
This island is now known as the Ile de la Cité
(Island of the City) and, in the 12th century,
the beautiful cathedral of Notre Dame (Our
Lady) was built on it.
