The eternally beautiful grande dame of European cities, Paris is a happy marriage of ancient and modern. It’s at once resolutely in step with the modern world — mushrooming public WiFi coverage, superb public transportation, major architectural projects in the pipeline — and as seductively romantic and gloriously historic as ever: the flagstones that the guillotine once stood on are still in place; the palace of kings that houses the world’s largest museum, the Louvre, is still a marvel to behold. Time Out Paris goes back to the city’s roots and monitors its new shoots — the plans to cut traffic in the city center by 75%, the new “boat Métro” service on the Seine, and new developments in every sphere of its world-leading fashion, arts, and culinary scenes. Independent, intelligent reviews cover more than 300 restaurants, cafés, and bars.
