As the former capital of the nation-state of France, Paris was known for its rich history in both politics and entertainment.
Paris was the subject of the painting Paris Street; Rainy Day. (VOY: "11:59")
In 1893, while incognito, Captain Picard claimed to lead a group of actors which had played in full houses in Paris, London, and Milan when an away team from the USS Enterprise-D traveled back in time to San Francisco. (TNG: "Time's Arrow, Part II")
In the late 19th century, Paris was the starting point for the famed Orient Express. (TNG: "Emergence")

In 2375, as Miles O'Brien thought about his new residence on Earth, Kasidy Sisko stated that she had heard great things about Paris. (DS9: "What You Leave Behind")
One of the most important historical landmarks in the city was the Eiffel Tower, a structure which stood for more than 480 years. The Café des Artistes offered an impressive view of the tower and was located near the office of the Federation President. Aside from that, the city also consisted of modern architecture built alongside its countless ancient buildings. (TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris")

Paris was also one of many possible destinations seen in an Iconian gateway in 2372, on the planet Vandros IV in the Gamma Quadrant. (DS9: "To the Death")
Holographic Paris
As with Café des Artistes set in 2342, Paris – in a variety of time periods – was a popular destination among holographic programs.
The Club Ingenue in the Julian Bashir, Secret Agent holoprogram was set in Paris of the 1960s. (DS9: "Our Man Bashir")
The holosuites in Quark's Bar had a holoprogram modeled on Louis Pasteur's house in Paris. (DS9: "Distant Voices")

In another program experienced on the USS Voyager (this one set during the 15th century), the Leonardo da Vinci hologram said that he wanted to leave Florence and move to France, whose king was a great admirer of him. Leonardo wanted to convince "Catarina" to come with him and told her of a tavern outside Paris that had excellent wine. (VOY: "Concerning Flight")
The Champs-Elysees was also a famous section of Paris and an available program aboard the USS Enterprise-E. (Star Trek: First Contact)

Background information
Paris skyline in 2372
The skyline of Paris seems to change considerably between 2342 and 2372, most notably in the area of the Seine River near the Iéna Bridge. Where formerly a large tube enclosed the top of the bridge running east-west beneath the Eiffel Tower and beyond, it seems by the 2370s that both the bridge and the banks of the Seine have been restored to their 21st century appearance. Several large towers to the east of Eiffel are now also gone.
The holodeck recreation of Paris seen in TNG: "We'll Always Have Paris" used a painted scenic backing that was reused in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. (text commentary, Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country (Special Edition) DVD)
According to the Star Trek: Star Charts (pg. 32), Paris was the capital of Europe.
