Map of Paris France

1. Streetwise Paris France Map is highly recommended, and they can be purchased online (eg through Amazon). They are cheap, detailed, and laminated so less prone to tearing/ripping. We've also used it to shelter ourselves from the rain and to sit on park benches - so it's got a multitude of uses! The metro map is OK but can be a little confusing....instead, pick up a small pocket size metro map in any of the metro station ticket booths.


2. Michelin Paris Pocket Atlas (by Arrondissements) Map No. 16 is an excellent Paris France map (again, can be purchased online - or check your local bookstore). It's small enough to fit into a backpack and has superb detail, including metro map. It's also spiral bound which we find is much better than trying to navigate a paper foldout map in the middle of a paris metro station. This map is the one that many of the Paris residents use.


3. Map of Paris France: If you are looking for something online, Schmap Guides are a fun way to look at the city. You'll find all sorts of goodies - not just interactive, dynamic maps of the city but ideas for things to see, places to eat and hotels. It's very cool and worth checking out. You just need to download it to your computer (it's free, and doesn't take up too much space).
