The City of Love, The City of Lights
Paris is tagged by many tourist and travel experts as the City of Love and the City of Lights. Though it is not an official term of the city and other countries call themselves the same, Paris indeed embodies the so-called moniker.

But Paris is not only known as a city filled with lovers but also known to be the City of Lights. There are many speculations why Paris is given this nickname, but there’s a simple explanation for it.
