Paris and the Paris Region, with €552.7 billion (US$813.4 billion) in 2008, produces more than a quarter of the gross domestic product (GDP) of France. Paris is also one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. The Paris region receives 45 million tourists annually, 60% of whom are foreign visitors. The city and region contain numerous iconic landmarks, world-famous institutions and popular parks. 

The currency and exchange rates is CA $1 equal to €0.65744; therefore, go to France might coast a lot. Eventhough, France is one of the most safe country in yhe world. Still, Paris is faceing lots of street crimes like robbing, illegal drugs and faud. Especially for foreign tourists, they need to be more carefully when they alone on the street.

In Paris, there are lots of place to visit like Eiffel Tower, Palace of Versailles, Louvre Museum and so on.  Much of contemporary Paris is the result of the vast mid-nineteenth century urban remodelling. For centuries, the city had been a labyrinth of narrow streets and half-timber houses, but, beginning in 1852, the Baron Haussmann 's urbanisation program involved leveling entire quarters to make way for wide avenues lined with neo-classical stone buildings of bourgeoisie standing.  Also, French food and drinks are amazing. French cuisine is a style of cooking originating from France, having evolved from centuries of social and political change. The modern age, starting in the 17th century, however, saw a move toward fewer spices and more liberal usage of herbs and refined techniques.
