StreetSmart® Paris is so legible you will understand how the Champs des Élysées connects with Champs de Mars, Bois de Boulogne with Belleville, Catacombs with Cimetiere Père Lachaise, Les Halles with La Defense, Quartier Latin with Luxemburg, Montmartre with Montparnasse, Marais with St Germain des Près and Canal St Martin. StreetSmart Paris Paris is unique in many ways. It was Emperor Napoleon III who in 1853 commissioned Baron Georges-Eugène Haussmann to reinvent the city with new infrastructure and Grand Boulevards cutting through blighted medieval neighborhoods to create the new City of Light. This map shows the plan with Métro stops by line right on the street map. So you can easily understand the local detail in context and see the entire system in an overview map for God’s perspective.
Paris is the city of the Flâneur the ambivalent drifter who wanders the citys Grand Boulevards looking for chance encounters of the literary and erotic kind. Park benches are said to be spaced in 500 m intervals to encourage Flâneurie.
Walter Benjamin, the culture critic, elevated this gastronomy of the eye into the academy channeling the poetry of Baudelaire. The Situationist movement of the 1950s added the idea of psycho-geography an exploration of the city through drifting described as a toy box full of playful, inventive strategies for exploring cities to create new realities through maps.
Paris is saturated with excellent museum exhibits this winter: Check out the new Bourse de Commerce which houses the Pinault Collection. StreetSmart Paris Every Sunday from 9 am until 1:30 pm, the air on Boulevard Raspail, between the Rue Cherche-Midi and Rue de Rennes, fills with the tantalizing smell of sautéing onions. It is the onion galettes – shredded onion, potato and cheese (2.50 euros)- frying at one of the dozens of stands at the Marché Biologique Raspail. This organic market has been a neighborhood jewel for 26 years. A new wave of affordable comfort food dining options with three-course meals for 20 Euros in 30 minutes is taking Paris by storm. It is a revival of the Bouillon working-class restaurants that thrived during the 19th C and an affirmation of Gallic identity.
Here are six establishments worth trying: Bouillon Julien at 16 Faubourg St Denis, Bouillon Pigalle, 22 Blvd de Clichy, Aux Bons Crus, 54 Rue Godefroy Cavaignac, Buffet, 8 rue de la Main d Or, Le Cadoret, 1 rue Pradier, Café du Coin, 9 Rue Camille Desmoulins.

Title: Overall good map of Paris, somewhat small print but very detailed
Review: I went to France for 2 weeks and was in Paris for one of the weeks. This map was very handy. It was not great for the metro but overall, it got me around the streets. I would recommend studying it for a while before you really need it.

Title: Worth it
Review: Almost perfect little map of the Paris street grid and metro. Folds thin and slides right into your pocket easily. Used it during recent trip to Paris when I did not have an international data plan on my phone and thus needed to keep track of my movements the old fashioned way. Highly recommended.

Title: Great Paris map
Review: I have a couple of maps of Paris and I am in Paris right now as I write this review. The two things I love about this map the most are that it is very well laminated and that it has ALL the street names on it, not just the major ones. In addition.it folds up nicely, has a metro map included, and you don’t have to unfold it full size to find your way. It is printed front and back so you just flip it north or south.

Title: Great for those with young eyes
Review: I did like this map. However, it did not work well for me. Full -disclosure: I turned 50 and need to use reading glasses for some but not all things. I found that with this map, the print was too small for me to grab it quickly and look at it. I would inevitably pull it out and hand it to the kids to look at. Honestly, Google Maps was all we every needed. We never ran into a spot that google maps could not handle. There are plenty of internet spots and offline maps.
