University of Paris IV - La Sorbonne, France:
Why Paris?

It could be the city’s cafés, filled with lively discussions, that continue to attract visitors from around the world, but it could also be a number of other things: its architectural beauty, its multiculturalism, its extraordinary culinary tradition, or the wealth of art and history to be found in its many museums.
