The capital and largest city of France is Paris. The oldest section of Paris, comprised of the two islands Île Saint-Louis and the larger Île de la Cité, is situated in a northern bending arc of the Seine in north-central France. The North Atlantic Current has an impact on Paris' typical Western European oceanic climate. The overall climate is pleasant and fairly humid all throughout the year. One of the major hubs for business, diplomacy, fashion, science, and the arts in Europe has been Paris. The Louvre, Sainte-Chapelle, and Notre-Dame Cathedral are among the most popular attractions in central Paris. The Eiffel Tower is situated southwest of the city on the left bank, next to Les Invalides, which also houses Napoleon's grave. Since the beginning of time, Paris has drawn artists from all over the world who come to the city for training and to be inspired by the abundance of galleries and other forms of art that are available there. Consequently, Paris earned the title of "City of Art." In the 16th and 17th centuries, Italian painters, particularly those who created sculpture and reliefs, had a significant impact on the evolution of art in Paris. In the French Baroque and Classical eras, the French royal family hired numerous Parisian painters to decorate their palaces since painting and sculpture had become the pride of the French monarchy.
