  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.

  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.
