We admit it. Paris holds a special place in our hearts when it comes to urban beauty.

There are so many kinds of beauty to tap into, -- everywhere you turn, another beautiful thing. Rather than write profusely, when words are neither necessary nor sufficient, we’re simply sharing some of our favorite most beautiful spots, especially in springtime.

From gardens and boulevards, fresh and frilly with pink and white blossoms on sunny afternoons, to the glories of museums on rainy days, to romantic lights of the city at night, to palatial hotels there are plenty of spots to choose from. Each time we go, we see it differently.

Steeped in history and electric with new buzz, there is plenty of beauty in this city to discover and discover anew.
