In the inter-war period, Paris was famed for its cultural and artistic communities and its nightlife. The city became a gathering place of artists from around the world, from exiled Russian composer Stravinsky and Spanish painters Picasso and to American writer Hemingway. Paris is now full of skyscrapers, office buildings and many other new globally funded things; but it has not lost its feel of the “Golden Era”, it is forever there.
Paris’ architecture hasn’t changed. Architecture in Paris is a result of the mid-19th century remodeling. The city is full of narrow streets, half-timber houses but they soon got rid of these things to put in wide streets and stone buildings. Most of the remodeled things are what makes Paris today. Paris’ gardens are very famous. 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. The Jardin des Plantes, created by Louis XIII's doctor Guy de La Brosse
