Whereas the city of Paris has a centuries-long history, its main frame dates to the 19th century. The [[Paris Métro|subway network]] was made to solve both linkage between the five main train stations and local transportation assets for citizens. The whole area of Paris City has metro stations no more than 500 metres apart. Recent bicycle and car rental systems ([[Velib]] and [[Autolib]]) also ease travel, in the very same way that TOD emphasizes. So do the new trams linking suburbs close to Paris proper, and tramline 3 around the edge of the city of Paris.

The [[La Défense]] area is an example of a large scale transit-oriented district.<ref>{{Cite web | url=https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-01138076/document | title=Characterising Transit Oriented Development in the Paris metropolitan region: what type of TOD are they? | first1=Alain | last1=L’Hostis | first2=Sébastien | last2=Darchen | date=2015-04-01 | publisher=HAL Open Science}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://humantransit.org/2009/07/how-paris-is-like-los-angeles.html|title = How Paris is Like Los Angeles (Via New York)|date = July 23, 2009}}</ref>
