    \n
  1. The Eiffel Tower:<\/strong>\u00a0The famous Eiffel Tower was only supposed to have stood for 20 years after its construction when it was built for the 1889 World’s Fair. As you know, the tower is now an iconic landmark of France and a major tourist attraction.<\/li>\n
  2. Statue of Liberty:<\/strong>\u00a0The equally famous Statue of Liberty, which was a gift to the US from France, has three replicas in Paris. One of these is looking towards its “sister” in New York.<\/li>\n
  3. Streets and alleys:<\/strong>\u00a0There are 6,100 roads in Paris. The shortest of these is called Rue des Degree. It is just under six meters long. Similarly, the longest road is over 4,300 meters long.<\/li>\n
  4. Light:<\/strong>\u00a0Paris is usually referred to as the City of Love, but it’s also known as the City of Light. First of all, there is a lot of light in the city, but Paris was also one of the first cities in the world to introduce street lighting.<\/li>\n
  5. Drink:<\/strong>\u00a0Have you ever had a Bloody Mary before? Then you can thank Ernest Hemingway for this, because he ordered this drink for the first time at the Hotel Ritz in Paris. Supposedly, he was looking for a drink that didn’t smell of alcohol. The familiar result, which hasn’t changed much since then, is the mixture of vodka and tomato juice.<\/li>\n
  6. Image:<\/strong>\u00a0The first photograph was actually taken in Paris by photo pioneer Louis Daguerre in 1838. Compared to today’s standards of images, this rooftop scene is not flashy by any means, but it was a seminal event in the history of photography in general.<\/li>\n
  7. City name:<\/strong>\u00a0Paris is not actually a distinctive city name. Did you know that there are at least 38 other cities named Paris? These can be found in the USA, Panama, Sweden – and Denmark! The latter is located near Lemvig in Jutland. However, this is a very small village that pales in comparison to the Paris of France.<\/li>\n
  8. Movie:<\/strong>\u00a0Paris is a popular location for filming movies or professional shoots. On average, there should be 10 of these locations at any given time.<\/li>\n
  9. Trees:<\/strong>\u00a0How many trees are there in Paris? Some have found the time to count them all. If so, there should be 470,000 of them.<\/li>\n
  10. STOP:<\/strong>\u00a0Stop signs are few and far between in Paris. In fact, until 2012, there was just one in the entire city. It has since been removed. That might explain the driving of many Parisians.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    \"Fact:<\/p>\n

    Fact: At just 6 meters, Rue des Degr\u00e9s is the shortest street in Paris<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
