This description of an exclusively urban walk does not claim to list all the names of the streets taken. However, the essentials are there and make it easy to find your way around, although a map of Paris is recommended to help you locate the streets and places mentioned. The RJ (red and yellow) markings left by Parisian trail markers will be a great help.
