I am moving to Paris in June together with my Dalmatian puppy. She%26#39;s really active and needs plenty of exercise daily (including off-leash). I would like to find a place to live which would be both convenient for me and my pup (close to a dog-friendly park etc..) Any suggestions? I will be working around place de Fontenoy and would consider up to a 30min commute in each direction (by public transport). Thanks!

Oh, lucky you! Others will know specifics better than I, but I do know that it seems the entire city of Paris is very , very dog friendly! You should not have any problems at all! Lots of parks to walk too!
|||
I%26#39;m not sure of an exact place, but Paris is very dog friendly and there are parks all over. You shouldn%26#39;t have a problem. Just maybe ask the land lord of where you will be renting if they allow pets.

Paris is very dog friendly... for well behaved dogs.
Dogs have to be on a leash at all times and many parks do not allow them on a leash or not. Not sure about dogs playgrounds etc.Some very well trained dogs will walk of the leash by their master...
Good luck. The reality is not the same as the %26quot;dog crazy%26quot; image.

I agree with La Photographe. They love the teacup sized dogs you can fit in your purse a la paris hilton. The ones that sleep silently under your chair at a cafe.
There is a pretty strict leash law in Paris. I%26#39;ve probably never seen a dog off its leash. I%26#39;m sure it exists, but I%26#39;m not sure where. This probably calls for a google search. Truffaut would know...darn...

Yes, it was the little dogs that strolled nicely along their masters or were carried that I saw in abundance in Paris! A Dalmation would be small as a pup but once grown would be a larger dog needing a lot of exercise! I do defer to those more in the know on this!

Everywhere is dog friendly but just under the eiffel tower---actually behind where it is grassy/dirt ---is where lots of people bring their dogs to mingle. I actually loved sitting there and watching all the dogs play. Some %26#39;well behaved%26#39; dogs were not on leashes, but the %26#39;others%26#39; like my 2 Jack Russels, had to be leashed.
Hope this helps.

I agree most dogs in Paris are small (after all, just think of the size of apartments that they must live in!), but I was bemused on one trip when I rented a flat and directly across the small courtyard lived an Alaskan husky that slept on the small terrace!

Hi,
Two years ago we had the good fortune to spend a month in the Touraine and Paris, and had with us our two German Shepherd Dogs. (Camping Bois de Boulogne), and plenty of space to wander and exercise (poop bags at the ready at all times)!
We did all the tourist sites again (something we hadn%26#39;t done for years) so we could take photographs with the dogs at Notre Dame, Trocadero (see avatar), The Eiffel Tower et al! We were photographed on the Pont des Arts by a large group of Japanese tourists, before visiting our friends at our hotel the Prince de Conde. Lunch at L%26#39;Atlas on Rue de Buci where the dogs were served first with water and a plat de fromage!
Favourite moment was a lunch on the terrace at Fouquet%26#39;s where the dog%26#39;s were photographed several times in their scarves purchased on Rue de Rivoli whilst we enjoyed a wonderful meal with an accompanying slightly chilled Chinon!
Happy memories
Best wishes

I am sure that last week I caught a piece on TV about dog laws. I wasn%26#39;t watching exactly, it was just on in a bar, but I got the feeling they were talking about muzzles (my French isnt that good yet) and they were showing Dalmations. It might be an idea to check.
I do know for sure the dog will need one on the trains.

Hi,
The following is taken from the UK French Embassy web site
%26quot;A.If your dog belongs to a breed recognized as dangerous dog, you cannot import this kind of dog in France (cat. 1). These breeds are:
any dog of the type known as the Staffordshire terrier without a pedigree.
any dog of the type known as the American Staffordshire terrier without a pedigree. (These types of dogs can be named « Pitbulls »
any dog of the type known as the Mastiff. (These types of dogs can be named « boerbulls »)
any dog of the type known as the Tosa without a pedigree.
B.Other breeds classified as guard dogs (cat. 2) with a pedigree can be imported into France:
Staffordshire terrier
American Staffordshire terrier
Rottweiler
Rottweiler and any dog of the type known as the Rottweiler without a pedigree.
Tosa
It is advisable to have a certificate that your dog has a pedigree.
I.You have to meet the following requirements to import a guard dog to France :
The dog has to be identified (tattooing or microchipping, etc).
You have to register the dog in the town council where you will stay.
The vaccination against rabies is compulsory.
Owners have to maintain insurance against their dogs injuring third parties.
******The dog has to be on a lead and muzzled when in public place******
II.There are some conditions attached to possessing this type of dog, the owners must:
Be over 18 years of age
Not be under guardianship
Not be convicted of an offence or in custody.
Other dogs are Catagory 3 dogs and my understanding is, do not need to be muzzled (at this time) in France.
Hope this helps
Best wishes
