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.
