Shen Yun International Company heads to Europe in early January. Can you guess the city? (Photo by projectionist Annie Li)

That’s right, Paris! And such a trip would not be complete without a visit to the Notre-Dame Cathedral. (editor: little did they know the cathedral would catch fire three months later) (Photo by Annie Li)

After six sold-out performances in Europe’s largest theater—the Palais des Congres de Paris— Shen Yun International Company visits the Louvre, the world’s largest art museum. (Photo by dancer Kexin Li)

The Arc de Triomphe honors those who have fought and died for France. Careful driving around it though—it’s the center of 12 radiating avenues!

Even the street lights are exquisite in Paris.
