The capital of France is one of the largest cities in Europe, with a large historical center, so without detailed Paris tourist map there's no way around it.
A general idea of where the main attractions of the city are located can be obtained from the above schematic map of the center. It marks (Notre Dame de Paris), and other famous architectural monuments. However, for walking tours of the city, it is better to have a more detailed tourist map of Paris with you. The city is very large with dense buildings and many streets, so it can be difficult to navigate here. This is especially true if you need to go a little away from the main landmark of the city center - the Seine River.
There are two tourist maps of the historical center of Paris to choose from on the site. One, more detailed, indicating city attractions. The second one shows the route of tourist buses around the city. Tourist buses are a good option for those who come to the city for 1 day and want to see a lot. If you come to the city for at least two days, then it is better to walk everywhere.
The Paris metro map is also very confusing. The city metro consists of a whole network of lines of the metro itself, as well as suburban trains. Moreover, the metro here is multi-level: the metro itself is laid closer to the surface, and the trains run a little deeper. Many long passages between stations make orientation even more difficult. Some stations are completely abandoned (trains do not stop there). In general, we had some difficulties with the metro, so we must take a responsible approach to studying the train traffic pattern of the Paris metro. Most likely, you will have to take the metro to (it is located a little away from the center of Paris), to the Eiffel Tower (although it can be reached in 30 minutes on foot) and to (it is generally located outside the city). All other main attractions are within walking distance from Notre Dame and the Louvre, which are the conventional center of the city.

If you are going to Paris, first of all look at the tourist map of Paris in order to more clearly imagine where the main attractions of Paris are located and in general the map will allow you to create approximate routes around the city. We have specially prepared a map on which you will find the most famous sights of Paris and, in addition, we have indicated the approximate locations of Paris metro stations. Of course, not all monuments, cathedrals and museums are indicated on this map, but for those who are traveling to Paris for the first time and for just a few days, this map will be quite enough.
If we talk about walking routes in Paris, we can distinguish 4 main tourist routes. We have created a map based on Google Maps where you can find recommended tourist destinations. This is what our map looks like:
You can open the full-scale map here at this link, and here is a little more detail on each route.
I would like to note right away that you should not pay too much attention to the indicated length of the route. Why? It is very unlikely that you will want to go exactly as indicated and not walk around some cathedral or look into some picturesque Parisian street. For the same reason, you shouldn’t calculate exactly how long it will take you to complete the entire route, it’s almost unpredictable :)
Route No. 1(in blue on the map): From Notre Dame Cathedral to Montparnasse Tower. You will explore the islands, stroll through the Latin Quarter, visit the Luxembourg Gardens and be able to look at the panorama of Paris from the observation deck of the Montparnasse Tower
Route No. 2(highlighted in red): You will see the City Hall of Paris, look at the Pompidou building, walk along the famous Rue de Rivoli to the Louvre, take a walk in the Tuileries Garden, see the Place de la Concorde and along the Champs Elysees you will reach the Arc de Triomphe.
Route No. 3(green on the map) originates from Trocadéro Square, which offers stunning views of the symbol of Paris - the Eiffel Tower. You will climb the Tower, walk along the Champs de Mars, admire the views of the Louvre from the opposite embankment, visit the Orsay Museum and then through the Pont des Arts you will reach the Arch of Defense near the Louvre itself.
Route No. 4(blue line on the map): We haven’t forgotten about the Opera, from where you start along the Boulevard des Capucines to the Madeleine Church, then you will see the Church of the Holy Trinity, and then you will plunge into bourgeois Paris - you will see the Moulin Rouge and the Parisian Red Light District. After this, you can take a break from the somewhat shocking sights by climbing the Hill to the very steps of the Sacré-Coeur Basilica and admiring the stunning views of Paris.
To be honest, it is best to allocate a whole day for each route. If you don’t have that much time or opportunity to do everything on foot, don’t worry, most tourists walk only the first day :) Then they use either the metro or excursion buses. Smart tourists immediately choose a bus :)

The formation of the district dates back to the 15th-16th centuries, when the boundaries of the city limits of Paris were expanded. By order of the monarch Charles V, this territory was surrounded by a massive wall up to Rue D'Aboukir. During the reign of Louis XIII, the district was expanded, but its borders took on their modern form only towards the end of the 19th century. In addition to various architectural monuments, the area contains the Stock Exchange and the National Library. Many banks are concentrated here. In addition, the second district is known for its shopping malls and boutiques, such as Vesna.
The Bourse district is the smallest of all the municipal districts of Paris, occupying only 99 hectares. But, nevertheless, about 0.9% of the residents of the French capital live here. The last census in 2015 showed that the number of people living in the area was 23,009.
