Architecture buffs have a number of places to see when they visit Paris France. You'll see palaces like the Palace of Versailles, which was built in the French Renaissance tradition circa 1678; Chateau de Villette, another 17th-century palace, crafted in French Baroque style for Louis XIV's amb***ador, Jean Dyel; or the Palais de Chaillot, a stripped cl***ical structure designed for the 1937 World Exposition. Other French Baroque palaces include the Chteau de Maisons, Chteau de Vaux-le-Vicomte, the Jardins des Tuileries, Palais du Luxembourg and Palais Royal-Muse du Louvre. In addition to palaces, there are churches in Paris that date back to the 12th and 13th Centuries, such as the Notre Dame de Paris Cathedral (1163), La Sainte-Chapelle (1238), Basilique Saint-Denis (1136) and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Chartres (1140). Mont Martre, St. Louis des Invalides, the Church of Saint-Sulpice and the Paris Pantheon are other beautiful, historic churches. Sometimes architectural wonders happen to hold hours of grand entertainment too. There are over 130 theatre venues in Paris France, but the most famous of all is the Palais Garnier, also known as the Opra de Paris. With opulent chandeliers, creamy marble columns, Greek statuary, bronze busts, majestic stairwells, rich red velvet tapestries, gold ornamentation and Baroque style, one can't help but marvel at the building's splendor. Inside, guests can revel at performances like "The Barber of Seville" opera, the "Giselle" ballet and symphonic orchestras playing everything from Beethoven to Rossini. For more information, theatre lovers can visit www.operadeparis.fr or ask their travel agent about hotels in Paris and accompanying art/culture package deals. Paris fashion is known for stylishness in much the same way as New York, Milan and London. Paris's re***tion for fashion began at the turn of the 19th century, when Charles Frederick Worth opened up a fashion house containing clothes with his signature label. He began advising clients what to wear and designing new ensembles for them. Prior to that, rich nobility would hire no-name seamstresses to tailor custom garbs. Talented illustrators composed sketches of new clothing designs for magazines, which started to draw the international spotlight to Paris couture. Notable designers to come out of Paris France include Coco Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Jeanne Paquin, Christian Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Michael Kors, Guy Laroche, Givenchy, Giorgio Armani, Gaspard Yurkievich, Yves Saint Laurent, Louis Vuitton and John Galliano.
