Ahead of one of the world’s most iconic sporting events, small business design and marketing partner VistaPrint have published Paris: Not To Be Missed, a city guide to discover a different side of Paris through the lens of 24 local businesses.
VistaPrint together with Paris Commerces, the new public operator created by the City of Paris for Parisian local businesses.
