eSIM for Paris

Where the signal goes

Most Métro platforms have coverage and the newer lines have it in the tunnels too. Line 4 and the older sections are where calls drop mid-sentence.

Getting around

Walk. The city is far smaller than the map suggests, and you'll see more of it than from underground.

Neighbourhoods

• Le Marais

  Narrow streets, falafel queues, and open on Sundays when much of the city isn't.

• Belleville

  Up a hill, and the view is better than from Montmartre.

• Canal Saint-Martin

  Where people sit on the bank with a bottle on summer evenings.

What's on

• Nuit Blanche

  Early October

  Across the city

  Galleries and installations open all night, free.

  Seine banks

  The riverside roads close and turn into a beach.
