2026 Guide to Paris: The best things to do in every arrondissement

It’s here! After 17 seasons of The Earful Tower podcast and hundreds of expert guests, I proudly release my new and updated guide to Paris.

Where can you find the secret passageways in the 11th? What’s the best restaurant in the 1st? Who serves the most delicious cocktails in the 3rd?

All these questions – and hundreds more – are answered right here in the PDF guide, which is over 100 pages long with some beautiful pictures too.

This 2026 edition includes our new discoveries from the past year of exploring Paris. And of course, we’ve given a special mention (and the cover image!) to the top of the Notre Dame Cathedral, which is finally open again to those brave enough to climb it.

So how to get it?

You have two options.

1) Buy the online PDF

Cost: €29.99

You can buy the guide as a PDF file that will be sent to your email address upon purchase. The PDF version has clickable links for more information and is perfect for using on the go.

2) Or… get the PDF for FREE if you subscribe as a paying member on Patreon or Substack

If you sign up as an Earful Tower member then you get this guide automatically on sign up. And there is a world of bonus content that unlocks when you subscribe. If you’re already a paying member, the guide should be in your inbox already, otherwise here’s the direct link to the guide.

That’s it for now, thanks for reading, and I hope you enjoy the guide to Paris!
