Town of a thousand faces...

Paris, 'the town of love' as it is often called, is a splendid (=wspaniałe) place in the heart of Europe. It has a lot to offer to its visitors...Apart from the most tourist sights (=atrakcje turystyczne) such as The Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum, it has lots of mysterious spots (=tajemnicze miejsca) to discover....narrow paved (=brukowane) streets and little charming corners are there to be uncovered by the  most astute visitors (=wnikliwych zwiedzających)....

The Basilica of the Sacred Heart 

The Eiffel Tower

The tower is 324 metres tall

The Moulin Rouge, close to the hill Montmartre

The Louvre Museum, the Pyramid

A 1992 Marc Lavoine's song 'Paris' is a song thanks to which you can feel the atmosphere of the town...


The Arc de Triomphe, the monument is 50 metres high

In the background La Grande Roue, an observation wheel (a ferris wheel)

You must remember a well-known song by Joe Dassin, 'Champs-Élysées', describing one of the most famous streets in the world. Champs-Élysées is the avenue on which Arc de Triomphe and the Place de la Concorde are placed (not to mention countless luxury boutiques, of course). Listen to two versions of Joe Dassin's song - the original one with an English translation and the English version with lyrics that differ from the original French text.

  1. Paryż to wspaniałe miasto. To właśnie miejsca nietypowe, nieznane turystom składają się na jego urok - Montmartre (poza bazyliką), Marais, Ile Saint-Louis.
