Just whisper those two little words and a flash of vivid images spring to mind: The Eiffel Tower, boulangeries redolent with the yeasty aroma of warm baguettes, berets tilted at jaunty angles, sidewalk cafs. One of the last things anyone might think of when imagining the City of Light in all its glory is a caf scene where meat and dairy are off the table, and in their place are flavorful, imaginative, locally grown, gorgeous foods. Well, such a thing does exist, though it is a relatively recent phenomenon. Between 2012 and 2013, a half-dozen new veg restaurants opened their doors in Paris, and the trend is continuing on that upward swing, with several meat-free eateries launching in the French capital in 2014. Shifts are happening in the retail world, too, with more and more supermarkets carrying vegetarian specialty items including veggie burgers, non-dairy yogurts and milks, and other convenience foods. Supermarkets are also dedicating entire aisles to organic and gluten-free foods, hinting at a growing acceptance of alternative diets in a country with a very firm grip on its culinary traditions.

Each Parisian arrondissement has something to offer herbivores, from dairy-free ice-cream stands to meat-free burger bars. In this guide, youll discover not only great vegetarian dining possibilities, but creative ideas on how to enjoy Pariss many attractionsmuseums, parks, monuments, shopping districts, architecturewhile staying sated, hydrated, and entertained. How To Use This Guide This food, culture, and travel guide is not just for vegans and vegetarians, but also tourists with food sensitivities, environmentally conscious travelers, those interested in organic living, and globetrotters in search of a unique travel experience in what is, arguably, the worlds most beautiful and romantic city. To help you on your way, weve included a language primer to arm you with the most common culinary terms youll encounter, and to encourage you to go local and impress the natives (sil vous plat and merci are trs important and will take you very far). Our Paris map introduces readers to the citys arrondissements, the 20 unique districts that spiral out like a snails shell beginning at the Louvre (1st) and ending in eastern Paris (20th), home to the famous Pre Lachaise cemetery and some of the citys best music venues. The map also illustrates Rive Gauche and Rive Droite (left and right banks of the river Seine), and points out the major monuments and tourist sites for easy navigation.

Next, we introduce you to the wonderful vegan, vegetarian, and omnivorous restaurants, cafs, fast-food spots, boutiques, and other places that make the French capital such a welcoming place for herbivores. And in between, youll meet some authentic Parisians who share their top tips for travelers, including their favorite local markets, dining spots, watering holes, wine shops, and day-trip destinations. An important reminder while reading this guide is that wherever you are in Paris, youre rarely more than a 30-minute Mtro ride to anywhere in the city, so you never have to feel resigned to eat
