Paris Marco Polo Pocket Travel Guide
Paris is the world's most visited city. Find your favourite arrondissement, where locals know which coffee shops stay open late and which streets avoid the crowds. Updated 2025.
Skip the overpriced cafés around the Eiffel Tower and endless Louvre queues. This guide reveals practical spots like Galerie Vivienne's covered passages where Parisians shop for vintage and perfume without the Champs-Élysées crowds, family bistros in Belleville where neighbours gather for evening wine, and Canal Saint-Martin where locals picnic without needing reservations or tourist prices.
Navigate Paris with confidence using Marco Polo's signature pull-out maps connecting metro stops to neighbourhood discoveries. From Butte-aux-Cailles' village atmosphere with working artists' studios to covered markets where vendors will teach you about cheese while you shop, experience the Paris that residents actually use.
What You'll Discover:
Practical Paris neighbourhood knowledge - which passages stay warm in winter, where locals shop for vintage, and cafés that aren't tourist traps
Paris transport mastery - Marco Polo's pull-out map with metro shortcuts and walking routes through residential quartiers
Everyday Parisian habits - where locals drink morning coffee, buy evening wine, and gather for neighbourhood conversations
Paris cultural basics - French customs, arrondissement navigation, and useful phrases for genuine interactions
Budget-friendly Paris options - free gardens, local market wisdom, and practical money-saving advice
Perfect for couples, culture seekers, or solo travellers wanting real France - this guide explains why Parisians protect certain neighbourhood spots.
From morning walks along quieter Seine stretches to evening wine in family-run bars, discover the Paris that works for people who live here.
Paris is more than monuments and museum queues - it's finding a reliable patisserie, learning which wine bars welcome conversation, and understanding that good taste and neighbourhood authenticity often go together. Find your way with Marco Polo.
