In its great museums are many of the world's most precious works of art. This city is located on the Seine and is in the midst of a rich agricultural country. it is also on the highway of travel from the Mediterranean countries northward through the valley of the Seine. Paris is an important railroad center and is also a port for the smaller ocean-going vessels.
