48 PARIS AND ITS MONUMENTS TO LEARNING
Paris is known as the City of Light , but it could easily be called the City of Enlightenment for its recognition of the contributions of various philosophers , artists , playwrights , and other intellectual figures . Many cities have statues that honor soldiers and statesmen , but few have the many monuments seen in Paris that honor the life of the mind , not conquest nor military achievement .

At first sight , the stunning new car ’ s most striking characteristic is its total absence of a roof , making it an authentic roadster in every respect , accentuating both its sporty character and ability to captivate both visually and in terms of en plein air driving exhilaration .
