I have met people here in Paris who rarely, if ever, take the bus. But I’ve become a bus convert. While the buses might be a bit overwhelming for a tourist who is just here for a short stay (in which case, grab a cab, take the M?tro, hoof it, or try the new V?libs), once you get the hang of it, it’s pretty simple. The first thing to do is to get a copy of a particular type of city plan (map), Le Petit Parisien “3 Plans Par Arrondissement” version, which offers three maps per arrondissement, one of which is the bus map through that neighborhood.
