  The number one guide to one of the world's favourite cities: without downplaying tradition - all major sights, museums and monuments are covered in-depth - Time Out Paris takes detours into the hip and madly popular world of comic strips, free entertainment, open-air dancehalls and the influx of cutting-edge fashion brands on the city's most staunchly haute couture avenue. Paris pulls off the enviable double act of being resolutely in step with the modern world - mushrooming public WiFi coverage, excellent public transport system, major architectural projects in the pipeline - and as seductively romantic and gloriously historic as ever: the flagstones the guillotine once stood on are still in situ, 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 centre by 75 per cent, the new 'boat Metro' service along the Seine, and new developments in every sphere of its world-leading fashion, arts and culinary scenes.
