Paris is the capital and most populous city of France. With an official estimated population of 2,102,650 residents as of 1 January 2023 in an area of more than 105 km2 (41 sq mi), Paris is the fourth-most populated city in the European Union and the 30th most densely populated city in the world in 2022. Since the 17th century, Paris has been one of the world’s major centres of finance, diplomacy, commerce, culture, fashion, and gastronomy.
It seemingly also has a tower. And a big, wide street in the city centre that has been the finishing line for a bike race most years. And I’m sure I’ve read in the media that is has something to do with the 2024 Olympic Games.
