Paris Metro Map
Map of France There are more clichés about Paris than there are tourists at the Louvre, but the fact is that underneath each overused hackneyed cliché 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 Elysées, the Opéra- 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 Musée Marmottan then enjoying a café and patisserie in the museums jewel box café. 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 cliché, isn’t it? Our pocket size map of Paris is laminated for durability and accordion folding for effortless use.

Great MapOct 14, 2009
The Map of the city was very easy to follow and was accurate. The METROPOLITAN (subway) map was very valuable. Laminated map easy to write and mark wiht a pen and did not get managed even on a 10 day stay in Paris. :)
 If you don't take anything else, take this!Sep 03, 2009
This map was our constant companion while in Paris. Not only did it make it easy to figure out where we were and how to go where we wanted to go, but the highlighted sights suggested other outings which we hadn't even known about before. Works great with cab drivers - point and go!

 Bring a magnifying glass and small flashlightSep 02, 2009
Nice map but note that it is a really small print and in the evening you need a little flashlight to be able to read the print. If you have sight issues bring a small magnifying glass.

The best little map of ParisJun 03, 2009
I've been to Paris many times and have used this map constantly while there. Despite it only covering the
main arrondissements, it is simple to read, has all the Metro lines well marked, & has a street index. It's durable, and tucks into a purse or bag. I also have the very large Michelin fold out map of Paris that I used in our apartment for outlying areas and very detailed items, as when I was looking for a particular shop or address on the edges of the city. For most travelers, however, this is the constant go-to map for getting around almost all parts of all arrondissements. Most tourist sights & museums are marked, as are Metro lines (color coded). Of all the folding maps this is the one I rely on time after time... my map is about 10 years old, has been well used for several trips, and is still is great condition. Highly Recommended!
