The Place d'Italie kiosk is part of a network of tourist information points set up within newspaper kiosks in Paris and Greater Paris in partnership with JCDecaux. The kiosk owners - who are supplied with specific signage - become ambassadors of the destination and provide information about the tourist attractions in the area. The Place d'Italie kiosk is just a stone's throw from the Place d'Italie and its shopping centre. From here, it's easy to get to Paris's Chinese Quarter and the Butte-aux-Cailles district. The Galerie des Gobelins and the Fondation Jérôme Seydoux-Pathé are just a stone's throw away. The BNF François Mitterrand is also within easy reach.
