Central Paris plus Montmartre on a tourist street plan from Red Maps presented in a handy concertina format & printed on thick high quality paper, with thematic indexes for sights, hotels, shopping, etc. The plan covers Paris from Monet’s Marmottan Museum near the Bois de Boulogne to the Bastille Opera House & north/south from the St. Lazare station to the top of the Luxembourg Gardens.

Paris Railway System Map

The inspiration for the design of Paris Railway System came from the Eiffel Tower, a Parisian symbol. On this map, the Seine sketches the arch and silhouette of the Eiffel Tower, upon which the Parisian railway combination of Metro, RER and Tram are laid, filling in the body of the Eiffel Tower. The beams of searchlights zooming out from the very top of the Eiffel Tower and the clouds representing the zone system mingle with the railway map to complete the nightscape of Paris.City Railway System is a new approach to projecting the identity of a city onto its subway map. Whereas conventional subway maps aim at conveying information as clearly and concisely as possible, the City Railway System by Zero Per Zero instinctively incorporates symbolic elements of each city into its map while
preserving clarity. As a special consideration for tourists, major landmarks and tourist attractions are indicated on the subway maps, so that tourists can easily figure out the fastest way to get to the destination at a glance. The railway map itself is also good as a souvenir.
