Why is Paris called the City of Lights?
Paris was nicknamed the "City of Light" (not City of Lights) originally because it was a vast center of education and ideas during the Age of Enlightenment. In 1828, Paris began lighting the Champs-Elysées with gas lamps. It was the first city in Europe to do so, and so earned the nickname "La Ville-Lumière" or The City of Light.

On the other hand, more literally, Paris is one of the most- lit city in the world. In 1828, Paris began lighting the Champs ElysÃ©es with gas lamps. It was the first city in Europe to do so, and so it reinforce the nickname " La Ville - LumiÃ¨re " or The City of Light.
