Lutetia was the ancient name given to Paris, the capital city of France, by the Romans during their occupation. It is believed that the name Lutetia originated from the Gaulish word "Lutetia Parisorium" which means "marshy place of the Parisii." Today, Paris is a metropolitan city known for its art, fashion, culture, and iconic landmarks like the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre Museum.
