There are more cliches about Paris than there are tourists at the Louvre, but the fact is that underneath each overused hackneyed cliche is a glistening kernel of truth. The City of Light, the City of Love and the City of Romance, familiar platitudes, but once you experience it for yourself you understand why. There is a je ne sais quoi allure to this city that beguiles, but never completely reveals what makes it so universally appealing. Artists, poets, writers, and composers have tried to define exactly what it is about this place, and yet they succeed only to a point. Perhaps it is as elusive as defining love, for to be in Paris entails experiencing love, about someone, something, some place.

There is so much to do - you know the big ones, the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Sacre Coeur, St. Germain des Pres, the Left Bank, the Right Bank, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysees, the Opera- but don’t miss the fun of discovering the small ones, the ones off the beaten path. Nothing like taking your time strolling thru the turn of the century mansion that houses Musee Marmottan then enjoying a cafe and patisserie in the museums jewel box cafe.

Wandering aimlessly is romantic. Getting lost isn’t romantic. In fact there are few things that can drain the romance out of a situation faster than realizing that you’re hopelessly lost. So take your travel map and put it away if you want to wander, but have no fear that your wandering will turn into a lost odyssey. You can always pull out the STREETWISE Paris Map and get yourself pointed back in the right direction.

Paris is not without faults. Sometimes people can be rude, but that’s the case anywhere in the world - be it a large city or small village. You get what you give. And in the case of Paris, as with any true love, you accept the flaws with the charms, the weaknesses with the strengths. In the end the true beauty of Paris will surpass any blemish. Life from a Parisian perspective is beautiful. But that’s another cliche, isn’t it?

Our pocket size map of Paris is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use. The STREETWISE Paris map is one of many detailed and easy-to-read city street maps designed and published by STREETWISE. Buy your STREETWISE Paris map today and you too can navigate Paris, France like a native. For a larger selection of our detailed travel maps simply type STREETWISE MAPS into the Amazon search bar.

5 out of 5 stars Worth the money...a great map   November 24, 2008
The Streetwise Paris map is great. My friends and I just returned from a four-night stay in Paris and the map was always with us. All of the main sights and streets are clearly listed. The metro map is accurate and very useful. Also- this map features side-streets that the generic paper maps given to us by our hotel did not have. The map,which is brochure-sized,fit well in the deep front pockets of my cargo pants. Persons with difficulty reading smaller text may encounter some slight difficulty reading the names of streets,etc. on the map. (My eyes are pretty bad and I had no significant problems.) Persons complaining that this map is somehow "bad" must have mental issues of some ilk. Every rock,ridge and blade of grass in the city is not listed. For that- you will need an up-to-date detailed geological survey map superimposed onto an accurate street map and some kind of infared goggles. For the "normal" non-Parisian traveler,this map is unsurpassed. English speaking Parisians will find it very useful as well. Buy it.


5 out of 5 stars Great tour map of Paris!   October 15, 2008

One of the most helpful items we had during our vacation in Paris. Pair it up with Rick Steves-Paris and/or Paris-Eyewitness-Travel-Guide, and you're good to go!


5 out of 5 stars Best Map of Paris   September 24, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

We have several of the Street Wise maps for different cities. They have a terrific index of streets--makes it easy to find any place in Paris (or other big cities) quickly. The maps are laminated softly and can be folded and carried in a purse or pocket. It also includes a metro map and shows major attractions on the map. It's the absolute best map for travel in Paris.


5 out of 5 stars A true 'Must Have'   September 15, 2008

The best small purchase you can make to prepare for a trip to Paris. We just returned from a week in the city and the Street Map was a constant companion.


5 out of 5 stars Very Useful Map Of Central Paris   September 1, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I generally like the "Streetwise" series of laminated maps, and their Paris map is no exception. It is compact, clear, easy to use, and exceptionally durable. It covers the city center of Paris, and the front side centers along the middle of the city with the Seine River running roughly along the midline. Northern and southern extremities, an index, and a Metro map are located on the back. All in all it is exceptionally useful for both planning a trip in conjunction with a guidebook as well as actually maneuvering on the ground in the city.

The most important landmarks are well defined on the map, and the information presented is accurate and current in my experience (it was revised in 2008). If you want to get out of central Paris you will need another map. Every map is designed for a specific purpose, and this one is designed for use by tourists of central Paris; for this purpose this map is exceedingly well suited, and I recommend it unequivocally.
