Paris Walks |
Walks in Paris will be simple if you stay at the boutique hotel Degres de Notre
Dame right in the heart of the action, within sight of Notre Dame Cathedral on
one side and an easy walk to the Pantheon and the Latin Quarter on the other
side. The hotel might be tiny by most standards, but the Hotel Degres de Notre
Dame offers a continental breakfast and an English speaking staff that includes
manager Cecile who is exceedingly helpful. She will help you with good local
information, maps of the city and she will ease your stay in the walkable city of
Paris.
Walking Paris
Walk one block north of the hotel and you are at the Cathedral of Notre Dame
and the island within the seine. This landmark can help to distinguish all other
features on the maps and it can act as your guide to all of Paris; the 200-foot
high towers of the Gothic cathedral built in 1163 are visible from several blocks
around.
From the hotel you can walk through the grounds of the Cathedral to Saint
Chapelle, a church built in 1240 to house holy relics, including the crown of
thorns, and now famed for its stained glass windows. From there go along the
seine to the Louvre.
An alternative is to walk to the boat dock on the seine and take the Batobus tour
boats where 14 Euros gives you two days of on and off stops at eight locations
of significance on the Seine. This could be one of the best bargains in Paris and
will give you a great overview of the city.

In June, darkness falls at about 10:00 PM in Paris,
lengthening your day of sightseeing.
An afternoon Paris walk will give you four to eight
hours of daylight, enough to catch a lengthy hike and
include a sunset from one of the 30 or more bridges
that cross the Seine in the center of the city.
The first walk could start at the Notre Dame
Cathedral and take you to the Musee du Louvre,
walking through the gardens to the Place de la
Concorde and its Egyptian obelisk. Continue along
the Avenue des Champs-Elysees and through a
gauntlet of sidewalk restaurants and upscale shops
including a gigantic Sephorus.
The avenue ends at a rotary around the Arc de
Triomphe. From there a walk down Avenue Kleber
to the Trocadero will give you a great view of the
Eiffel Tower. From the Eiffel Tower a walk through
the Champ de Mars Park and then to Avenue de
Tourville will take you to the Mussee D' Larmee,
Napoleon's tomb and to the Musee d Orsay. From
there a walk along the Seine will take you back to the
Cathedral de Notre Dame.
With a 14 Euro, two-day Batoboat ticket you could
combine walking and the boat's handy docks on the
river to make the same trip with less walking.
Another walk from the Hotel Degres de Notre Dame
will take you through the Latin Quarter. This one may
best be done at twilight when the clubs and
restaurants start to hum with music and the
excitement of pick-up bands of clarinet, guitar, and
violin that try to capture a Django Reinhardt,
Stephane Grapelli mood.
The Sorbonne and Pantheon mark this area of
clubs, restaurants, and lively nightlife.
Another small hotel in the Latin Quarter, the
Observatoire Luxembourg, just across from the
Garden of Luxembourg on the Boulevard
Saint-Michel, gives good access to the heart of Paris
and although small, will offer friendly service and
convenience to the Metro at the Luxembourg station
or to walks along the Seine.
Another Paris Walk in the Montmartre to the
Basilica of Sacre Coeur (Sacred Heart) starts after
a bus or subway ride to the vicinity of Gare du
Norde, Gare St Lazare, or the Blanche Metro
Station near Boulevard de Clichy, easily identified
landmarks on the maps.
The Sacre Coeur is the highest point in Paris and
from the steps of the basilica you can get a great
view of the city.
Walk to the Moulin Rouge on Boulevard de
Clichy and visit the cabaret that has for over a
hundred years held performances.
Toulouse-Lautrec left a record of the turn of the
century Moulin Rouge performers with his paintings, a
style that remains with glitter and the feathers of the
Cancan revue.
Many other guided tours by bike, walking , or Segway
are available.

Paris: Made for Walking Paris may be the ultimate walkable city. So
much history and great architecture located in a small area along the River Seine
makes Paris ideal for those that like to walk. If you combine the boats that cruise
the Seine with the buses that make loops through the heart of the city and if you
use the Cathedral of Notre Dame as a central landmark, you can easily navigate
the city and visit many of the historic sites in four or five walking trips.
