In the golden afterglow of the sunset, a lavishly decorated open-top four-wheeled carriage leisurely wove its way through the ancient yet newly invigorated city of Paris.
How would the two passengers in the carriage describe the city of Paris?
First and foremost, it is of course a large city. In today's world, there are a total of 19 large cities with populations over 500,000, among which only 5 are located in Europe: London, Constantinople, Naples, Saint Petersburg, and Paris.
The Luxembourg Palace, Tuileries Palace, the Académie Française, the Paris Observatory, and the renowned Hôtel des Invalides are all located here. More importantly, it is also the cartographic center of all of France and even the whole of Europe.
At this moment, the two passengers held a map of Paris in their hands.
Among countless maps of Paris, it is neither the newest nor the most detailed, not the oldest historically, but it holds the most commemorative historical significance.
