Paris Maps Past and Present

This map of present-day Paris shows all 20 arrondissements (districts) of the city and main Paris attractions such as the Notre Dame Cathedral, Eiffel Tower, Louvre Museum and Père-Lachaise Cemetery. You can also see Paris's closest suburbs, or "banlieues" around the periphery. Parisians refer to the nearest suburbs, which are generally served by the Paris Metro, as la petite couronne (literally, "little crown"). The distant suburbs are referred to as la grande couronne or "greater crown".
