Paris, the 'City of Light,' is the capital and most populous city of France, home to over 2 million residents in the city proper and 12 million in the greater metropolitan area. Paris follows Central European Time (CET, UTC+1) in winter and Central European Summer Time (CEST, UTC+2) in summer. Interestingly, geographically Paris is closer to the GMT meridian, but France adopted CET after WWII and has maintained it ever since. Paris is a global hub for fashion, gastronomy, art, and diplomacy — hosting the headquarters of UNESCO, OECD, and Interpol. The city's iconic Eiffel Tower was built in 1889 for the World's Fair and has since become the most visited paid monument on Earth. Paris has hosted the Olympic Games three times: 1900, 1924, and 2024. The Paris Meridian, established in the 17th century, competed with Greenwich as the prime meridian for global timekeeping until 1884.
