Paris is the capital and largest city of France. It is situated on the river Seine, in northern France, at the heart of the Île-de-France region. The city of Paris, within its administrative limits (the 20 arrondissements) has a population of about 2,300,000. Its metropolitan area is one of largest population centres in Europe, with more than 12 million inhabitants. Paris is today one of the world\'s leading business and cultural centres. Three of the most famous Parisian landmarks are the 12th-century cathedral Notre Dame de Paris on the Île de la Cité, the Napoleonic Arc de Triomphe and the 19th-century Eiffel Tower. The Eiffel Tower was a "temporary" construction by Gustave Eiffel for the 1889 Universal Exposition, but the tower was never dismantled and is now an enduring symbol of Paris. The Historical axis is a line of monuments, buildings, and thoroughfares that run in a roughly straight line from the city-centre westwards. The line of monuments begins with the Louvre and continues through the Tuileries Gardens, the Champs-Élysées, and the Arc de Triomphe, centred in the Place de l\'Étoile circus. The Invalides museum is the burial place for many great French soldiers, including Napoleon; and the Panthéon church is where many of France\'s illustrious men and women are buried. The Sorbonne is the most famous part of the University of Paris and is based in the centre of the Latin Quarter. Two of Paris\' oldest and famous gardens are the Tuileries Garden, created in the 16th century for a palace on the banks of the Seine near the Louvre, and the Left bank Luxembourg Garden, another former private garden belonging to a château built for Marie de\' Medici in 1612. Theatre traditionally has occupied a large place in Parisian culture. The largest opera houses of Paris are the 19th century Opéra Garnier (historical Paris Opéra) and modern Opéra Bastille. Some of Paris\' major theatres include Bobino, Théâtre Mogador, and the Théâtre de la Gaîté-Montparnasse. Paris receives around 28 million tourists per year of which 17 million are foreign visitors. Its museums and monuments are among its highest-esteemed attractions.
