BYU stated in the best brief statement about Paris, France.

"Paris has for centuries been an intellectual and spiritual center of Western Civilization. In the thirteenth century both Albertus Magnus and Thomas Aquinas, the two greatest theologians of the Middle Ages, studied or taught at the Sorbonne, the world's second oldest university. In the seventeenth century Pascal and Descartes, both prominent mathematicians and philosophers, laid foundations for modern thought. A hundred years later, Paris was the center of the Enlightenment, guided by the capable hands of philosophes Voltaire, Diderot, and Rousseau, the latter a transitional figure who also introduced Romantic ideals that in turn sparked the French Revolution. Following the excesses of that tragic time, Paris settled into a more tranqil existence, marked in literature by Stendhal, Balzac, Hugo, and Flaubert, in music by Chopin, and in art by Gericault and Delacroix. The Belle Epoche, which closed the nineteenth century, spawned new notions including artistic Impressionism. Not surprisingly, in the twentieth century, Paris assumed its rightful place as a central forum of intellectual, philosophical, cultural, and political discussion, while, most recently, Parisian thinkers ignited the fires of postmodernism and other modern critical theories.

The following press releases, and blog postings are events which are ongoing is Paris, and the global interactions through art with the purpose to established links to Paris' Art World.
