Hello folks. After so much help on a trip two years ago to London and last year to Rome, Venice and Florence, I'm starting on Paris.

I've checked out a bunch of books and am studying away.

I'm looking for good Paris related weblinks. Information on walking tours, on hours for the sites, printable maps, subway maps and so on.

In particular, I'd like to find some websites that detail sites like Notre Dame and Sainte Chapelle (sp?). I could type up all the notes from the books that talk about the windows or architecture, but it'd be easier to just print it out and take it with me.

I don't need any links on lodging at this time, but everything else is welcome.

Any help is appreciated.

Here are some of my favorites to get you started

Museum pass-www.intermusees.com

For all things Paris: http://www.paris.org

Paris travelogues www.bonjourparis.com (some free, some only if you pay a fee)

Monthly update on Paris and France
www.francemonthly.com

Guided walks in English http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/pariswalking/

Restaurant reservations
http://www.reservethebest.com/anglai...estaurants.php

Train/metro schedules
www.sncf.com
www.ratp.fr

I've enjoyed this website and gotten a good bit of info. I also like bparis.com (bonjourparis) as mentioned above.

Many of my favorties are already mentioned, but I will add:

Walks in the unknown Paris: http://parisinconnu.free.fr/index_us.htm

Concerts at St. Chapelle & others: http://www.archetspf.asso.fr/concert.htm

Interesting site with St. Sulpice: http://www.zone-tour.com/pages/files...pice/index.htm

http://www.musee-jacquemart-andre.co...re/home_en.htm

Marmottan Museum http://www.marmottan.com/uk/informations/index.html

Have a wonderful time planning!

If you e mail me I can send you a long note that I keep on Paris for children, which gives web sites for many attractions

Ben,
Thanks for the offer but we don't have children yet. Does your note cover adult stuff as well?

is 'triffic

In addition to the guided walking tours offered by Paris Walks, which Kristi already mentioned (some of which I've taken, and can recommend), you might also be interested in websites that provide directions for self-guided walking tours of Paris. For example:

http://www.paris-eiffel-tower-news.c...mard-land.html (buildings designed by Hector Guimard)

http://www.paris.org/Kiosque/apr01/art.nouveau.html (Art Nouveau in the 16th - similar to the above walk)

http://www.fodors.com/forums/pgMessa...=4&start=0 (a walk through Paris passages, compiled by our very own Degas, with valuable comments by other Fodorites)

Printable Metro, RER, and bus maps can all be found at http://www.ratp.fr/ParisVisite/Eng/index.htm

This is a good one for upcoming events

http://www.parishotels.com/whatsonwhen.html

For street addresses:

Bridges & fountains:
http://www.pariswater.com/

Louvre Museum:
http://www.compuserve.com/wrap/linke...fr/louvrea.htm

Rodin Museum:
http://www.musee-rodin.fr/welcome.htm

Paris Tourist Bureau:
http://www.parisbienvenue.com

Hope I haven't duplicated any sites. Have a wonderful time planning and most of all on your trip!

SuzieC, I don't think you should promote that particular site here - they want you to pay for information. It really isn't " 'triffic " it takes (sometimes dated) random thoughts from many sources and strings them together.

mdtravel, another one you might want to try is: http://www.paris-touristoffice.com/index_va.html

Enjoy your trip

There's a lot of good information about Sainte Chapelle (which you mentioned as something you're particularly interested in) at:

http://architecture.relig.free.fr/chapelle_en.htm

This is awesome! Thanks everyone. I have started a thread on another board. This one lets me edit the original post for a little better organization. If you want to look at some of the contributions on that board or just link directly to it, here is that link:

First, a great service, set up by France Telecom, which will show you any street address located within Paris city limits. Go to http://wge.pagesjaunes.fr/pj.cgi?lang=en

www.paris-anglo.com excellent site, many suggestions for sightseeing, daytrips, shopping, etc including special activities for English-speakers

www.webscapades.com/france/paris/paris.htm limited hotel selection, good descriptions of
arrondissements (districts) and neighborhoods

A small selection of "insiders' " shops, hotels and restaurants: http://www.nytimes.com/library/magaz...tra-paris.html

www.wfi.fr/metropole/1999/414/414oldie.html an article and pics of the oldest houses in Paris

Have a wonderful trip.

Bump.

How about a few links for bars or nice places to unwind in the evening with a cocktail?
