'We’ll always have Paris' - Casablanca

Ah Paris, where do you start...

A great thing about switching to low-carbon travel is knowing that over the coming years, we'll pass-through Paris many times. We can cast aside any urge to gulp down Paris in one go and accidentally end up with Paris Syndrome . Instead, it will become an old friend. 

So, with that in mind, why not pick just one or two things to do on you way through?

Highlights
Station strolls

The chances are that, at some point, you will find yourself waiting for a train in Paris.

I've also made some downloadable PDFs with suggested strolls that might help (I'm working on something for Gare Montparnasse...)

Gare du Nord

Gare de Lyon

Gare d'Austerlitz

They are accompanied by some Google maps which should work with your phone app.
