July 8th, 1951 - The city of Paris officially celebrates its 2000th birthday although it is really much older. It is believed that the first settlement in the area was founded around 250 BC by the 'Parisii' tribe. Many towns start on hills because they are mainly forteresses but Paris was commercial from the beginning; a trading city with a lifestyle opposed to the common aristocratic principle. The town became 'Lutetia' (marshy) under the influence of the Romans but was renamed after the original tribe in 212. Its rising as one of the world's fashion, science and culture capital through the Renaissance and until now makes it the most visited city in the world today. Even Mickey and Minnie established a secondary residence in the suburbs in the early '90s.
