The best maps for walking are provided by The Institut Géographic National (IGN), France's national survey agency. IGN green maps (scale - 1;100,000) can be useful for planning, but you'll want to buy the very detailed the IGN 1:25,000 blue series for serious walking. IGN maps aren't commonly available in the US.
Google maps works pretty well in France, I'd say as well as it does in the US. You either need a data plan or to download offline maps (or both). Offline maps will only give driving directions I think, not walking or public transport. I've also used my Garmin Nuvi GPS with European maps, and that works well too.
Tips to Getting Around ParisGoogle maps on your phone or a paper map from your hotel will lead you around the city to wherever you need to go. Take time to put down the map and get lost. A metro line is always nearby to get you back to your starting point. Explore the city on foot and see what you discover.
