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.

Kristi

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

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

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:

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:

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

I would add www.mappy.com (similar to "pagesjaunes" site, but has feature that lets you put in an address get a map of it and find Gault Milau restaurants near it, with reviews of them, post offices near it, newstands near it and other similar features) and www.timeout.com (which is the site of a guidebook series but has a feature with current things going on in Paris and links to other sites too. Have a wonderful trip.
