Best Reason to Visit Paris? This Awesome Map

Illustrator Jenni Sparks' gorgeous and quirky map of Paris is done with wit and humour – and gives you another reason to visit one of the world's greatest cities.

Collaborating with Evermade (an e-commerce site), illustrator Jenni Sparks continues her brilliant series of hand drawn city maps – this time it's Paris, done with her customary wit, humour and intricacy.

The artist spends months in each city for her research (yeah, hardship, walking around with her cheeses and baguettes...), before beginning a laborious process of mapping it out.

 The map cleverly highlights the metro lines for direction, and features not just famous tourist spots, but also obscure stores and local cafes.

She has also drawn London, Berlin, New York and San Francisco – all available here. She's currently in India with her pens and sketchbooks, so expect something exotic later this year. Now, how do we launch a kickstarter campaign to get her over to Singapore?
