Living with a pet in Paris

In Paris, pet life revolves around the great green lungs — Buttes-Chaumont, the Bois de Vincennes and Boulogne, the banks of the Seine — and a fast-paced daily life where many owners work long hours. Regular walks and home visits are therefore essential.

Between Haussmann-era flats, indoor cats and small dogs used to the métro (carried in a bag), every arrondissement has its own habits. A neighbourhood SmartSitter, from the Marais to Batignolles, saves precious time and spares everyone the stress of crossing the capital.
