Beside being a city of light, the Garden of the Tuileries is an outstanding model of a classic French garden, designed by the landscape architect, Le Notre.

Bastille Day is the city's gayest fete, which is the French national holiday and is celebrated on every July the 14th. every year. On July 14, the Place de la Concorde is jammed with merrymakers, Parisians and visitors alike.

Near Toulouse, France, Airbus produces around half of the world's jet liners. Within now and 2028, Airbus would make deliveries of some 8,000 new passenger and cargo aircraft.
