Paris was founded towards the end of the 3rd century BC on what is now the île de la Cite by a tribe of Celtic Gauls known as the Parisii. Centuries of conflict between the Gauls and Romans ended in 52 BC, when Julius Caesar's legions took control of the territory and the settlement became a Roman town. Christianity was introduced in the 2nd century AD, and the Roman party was finally crashed in the 5th century by the arrival of the Franks. In 508 AD, Frankish king Clovis I united Gaul as a kingdom and made Paris his capital, naming it after the original Parisii tribe.

The Palace of Versailles is one of the unmissable attractions in Paris. It is a palace that was built as a royal hunting lodge and the Palace of Versailles is forever linked to Queen Marie-Antoinette. When Marie-Antoinette married the Dauphin Louis-Auguste, the future King Louis XVI, the Austrian royal was only fifteen years old.
Marie- Antoinette moved to Versailles where she would enjoy most of her French life until her death in the French Revolution. She was notorious for her fashion and extravagant parties and the suites in the Palace of Versailles still reflect this.
