Paris' Most Secret Streets You Need To Walk

Skip The Champs Elysees And Walk These Secret Parisian Streets Instead

Ah, Paris. From its famous food to the stunning architecture, hell, even its snobby locals, we love pretty much everything about the city (not to sound too American, but have you seen the Eiffel Tower?!).

And now there's a guidebook, written by a local journalist, to show us all the hidden nooks and crannies of the city we all love. The 500 Hidden Secrets of Paris chronicles -- you guessed it -- all that is hidden and wonderful in the City of Light. And since we adore you, dear reader, we decided to share the wealth of knowledge.

Here are 5 secret Parisian streets you absolutely, positively must walk the next time you're there.
