Walking in Paris
Paris is compact and made for walking, with the Seine as its spine and a different mood in every arrondissement. Walks usually cover the medieval heart around the Île de la Cité, the Latin Quarter, the courtyards and boutiques of Le Marais, or the hill of Montmartre with its artists' history. Expect stories about revolutions, writers and the Haussmann boulevards as much as landmarks.
Good to know: Cobbled streets and the climb up Montmartre are easier in comfortable shoes.
