Paris is the capital and most popular city in France. It is the global center for art, fashion, gastronomy and culture. In the late 19th century, Paris experienced political instability and division of the intellectual community, whereas the art scene thrived. Amy Levy mentions Paris, France in her novel Romance of a Shop (1888) when Mr. Darrell points out that he will be going off to Paris for business.
"I mean that I am going away to-morrow."
"For ever and ever?" Phyllis laughed, as she spoke, turning pale.
"For several months. I have important business in Paris." (Chapter 15)
