My Good friend Laurent made this simple and wonderful Paris Walking Map for me when I was last in Paris. I had 1 day and I wanted to see it all. This map hit all of the major Parisian landmarks and I left feeling like I had a good idea of what to go back for.
The areas it hits are:
- Notre Dame
- Place Dauphine
- Point Neuf (oldest bridge in Paris)
- The Lock Bridge
- Louvre
- Tuilleries Garden
- Grand Palaise (the Grand Palace)
- Trocadero Garden (best view of the Eiffel Tower)
- Eiffel Tower
- Famous Arcade Bridge
- Arc de Triomphe
- Champs Elysees (famous high-end shopping street)
Areas you can detour to (with 2 days):
- Musee d’Orsay (D’Orsay Museum – you can make a quick detour)
- Laduree (famous macarons)
- Le Madeleine (roman catholic church)
- Place Vandome (most expensive jewellery stores in Paris)
- Rue Saint Anne (best places to eat)
This map is a LOT of walking so make sure to wear comfortable shoes – and also walk with Haste. If you have 2-3 days this map is also great because you can take your time and stop in at each place and really enjoy where you are.
I just wanted to share it for anyone looking for the Coles Notes of Paris. 🙂
