Whether you want to view the ever-changing street art on Rue Dénoyezor, venture to opulent Versailles or learn to cook from the masters at La Cuisine, your DK Eyewitness travel guide makes sure you experience all that Paris has to offer.

A treasure trove of things to see and do, the French capital is packed full of world-famous palaces, museums and galleries. But Parisians know that there is more to life than glitz and glamour.
