The banks of the Seine in Paris is a World Heritage Site of France. Regarded as one of the most beautiful promenades in the world, the banks of the Seine afford splendid views of the surrounding attractions including the Eiffel Tower, the Cathedral of Notre-Dame and the Place de la Concorde. The wide squares and boulevards along the banks have inspired late 19th and 20th town planning all over the world.

Paris, Banks of the Seine was inscribed as a World Heritage Site during the 15th session of the World Heritage Committee which met in Carthage, Tunisia, on 9 - 13 December, 1991.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
