Paris

France is a country in northwestern Europe. The global powerhouse has played an integral role in international affairs, with former colonies in every corner of the world. Before the discovery of the Americas at the end of the 15th century, France was considered the edge of the known world as it is located on the western extremity of the Old World. Due to this, people groups from all over Asia have settled permanently in the nation.

Today, there are an estimated 5.7 million Muslims in the country. Paris represents the chief hub of this cultural influx, occupying strategic positioning in the nation's rich agricultural region known as the Paris Basin.

In addition to ethnic diversity, Paris has long been the magnet of artists and intellectuals in Western Europe. Business, finance, commerce, higher education, entertainment, and cuisine find their home in this wealthy, influential city.
