Hey guys! So I’m gonna talk about Paris, France 🇫🇷 I’m gonna share what I read on a site! Tighten your seatbelts because this facts might “shookt” you😂

Paris was founded in the 3rd century BC and was previously called Lutetia. According to some, Lutetia was located in present-day Nanterre. The residents called themselves "Parisii" and therefore gave the name "Paris" to Lutetia. If you wanna know more about why it was previously called Lutetia, you can search it up on wiki or something. 😊 Next on the list is the Pont Neuf which is the oldest bridge in Paris. It was built in 1604. If you are going to visit France, you should go there! It’s really nice ❤️ Next is the motto of Paris. It’s "Fluctuat Ner Mergitur", which means "Tossed but not sunk" in Latin, referring to a ship.
I want to tell you about pianos at the train station/s. There’s a dozen of them. Initiated by the SNCF, the project "Play me I'm yours", is in numerous cities across the entire world. Speaking of trains, The regional train system in Paris was going to be called the "Métro Express Régional Défense-Étoile", which would have resulted in the initials M.E.R.D.E. But since that translates to "s h * t," the name was very quickly changed to "Réseau Express Régional". 😂
At the Concorde metro station, there is an inscription with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights of 1789. A piece created by the artist Françoise Schein in 1990: "Letter after letter, the text spreads out across the entire surface of the archway and the walls on the platform of line 12." And lastly, Believe it or not, the monument that is visited the most in Paris is the Notre-Dame cathedral with more than 14 million visitors in 2014. I would recommend this cathedral for you to visit when you’re planning to have a day off from work or you want to thank God for giving you the opportunity to be here in France

Paris is really a beautiful city you should visit. But i just noticed that in Paris, all items in a store are super expensive. I guess because they’re branded

You should go to Louvre too and visit the museum. There you’ll see Mona Lisa.

That’s all for now! Btw, I read these facts on buzzfeed and I thought I’d share some of that facts here. I’m sorry

Hope you guys liked it even tho it wasn’t that good or it was a bit boring. 😊 I’ll do my best to improve my posts. If you have any suggestions or something, you can ask me😊 God bless you, guys!!❤️
