  The eternally beautiful grande dame of European cities, Paris boasts an unrivalled range of world-class visitor attractions. But it never rests on its laurels: several old favourites have been revamped and renewed, while the opening of the spectacular Musee du Quai Branly in autumn 2006 confirmed that no-one does museums quite like the Parisians. Paris is growing too: the building of a vast new museum of contemporary art on the northern outskirts of the city (due to open in the second half of 2008) will breathe new life into a previously neglected area. And the same is happening elsewhere. Time Out , with its team of Paris-based writers, is uniquely placed to track these changes.

  The eternally beautiful grande dame of European cities, Paris boasts an unrivalled range of world-class visitor attractions. But it never rests on its laurels: several old favourites have been revamped and renewed, while the opening of the spectacular Musee du Quai Branly in autumn 2006 confirmed that no-one does museums quite like the Parisians. Paris is at once a city actively in step with its time - excellent public transport system, major architectural projects on the horizon, vibrant and innovative arts - and as resonant with romance and history as ever: the flagstones the guillotine once stood on are still in situ, the palace of kings that houses the world's largest museum, the Louvre, is as glorious and grandiose as ever.
