Paris

This guide includes Special Places from the old and 'new' neighbourhoods: the Marais, the Bastille, the Canal Saint Martin and all the way up to Montmartre; bars with warm fires and deep sofas, flea market finds, 8th-century staircases, Empire antiquities, home-made jams and croissants, and country-house style; and, where to find a private chauffeur or a bicycle rental.
