It's been way too long since I've planned a trip to Paris but I used to get a real kick out of using the pages jaunes to figure out exactly where a hotel or shop was located. Next best thing to being there.

For convenience of locating restaurants and other activities, I keep the Pariscope website bookmarked. Pariscope is a slim-down Francophone equivalent of Time Out and New York Magazine. The link is http://pariscope.fr/

After not checking it for a few months, I have tried to log on over the last few days and all I got was the phone directory of the publication.

Has anybody else has this experience? I also tried accessing it via Time Out Paris, another route that usually works and I got the same result.

Pariscope online is no more. I think they closed down the site a few months ago.

If you read french, try zurban.comfor cutural events in Paris.

Thanks. Just checked it out. Seems to be a funkier version of Pariscope. Perhaps not as useful for restaurant coordonnees since it seems less inclusive.

From another thread

fga, do you know Pages Jaunes? Yellow Pages in France.

This is a great site for anyone trying to find a location, address or phone number in France. There are street maps and, in Paris, photographs of the buildings. Often views up and down the streets and across the street. Of course you have to have preselected your restaurants.

Pages Jaunes is very powerful and effective. Anybody planning a trip to France should bookmark it. You need a little French to navigate it, but common sense is almost as useful.

maybe you could try

That link didn't work for me, but this one did:

and this one:
