Description

This map contains everything listed in my Essential Paris Travel Tips book… PLUS MUCH, MUCH MORE!

Restaurants, sights, shopping, attractions, activities, this is my “Best of Paris” map that extends far beyond what I write about in Essential Paris Travel Tips. For example, I’ve got about a dozen boulangerie around the city I consider better than the others, but I only include five in the book. Curious to see the other seven?

Organized into attractions, activities and food + drink, my Essential Paris Map ties together the city’s top attractions with its lesser-known haunts. You won’t find any tourist traps here!

Oh, and it’s super easy to use: From your computer, log into your Google account, download the zip folder after purchasing (you are entitled to five separate downloads with no expiration date), open the KMZ file and then upload to your personal Google Maps account.

One last note: Unlike tourist maps and some guidebooks, no one paid for placement on this map. I don’t offer paid inclusions on my maps. Rest assured, these are earnest recommendations well worth your time and money.
