Everything you need to know about Paris
Paris rewards walkers: the Seine cuts the city into a Right Bank of grand boulevards and the intimate Left Bank of cafés and bookshops, all stitched together by one of the world's best metro systems. Between the Louvre, the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame and Montmartre, the classic sights sit within a compact core — leave time for a neighbourhood aperitif and a market morning too.

Travel insurance: Provincial health plans do not cover care in France. Comprehensive travel medical insurance is strongly recommended.

Is Paris easy to get around?
Very. The metro, RER trains and buses cover the whole city; central Paris is compact and walkable. Consider a Navigo pass or a carnet of tickets.
