I don't see how Paris is the best example. I would nominate Zurich.
Strangely, I live with my wife and daughter in Boise, Idaho and we don't own a car. The high school, my work, grocery stores, etc. are all within a short walk.

Almost every town in the US used to have these kinds of livable zones. Every "historic downtown" used to be a place where people lived and worked. You'd walk to the pharmacy, or the hardware store, or the grocery. You could live your whole live without a car payment yoked around your neck.
It bums me out that we had that taken from us. I'm glad you found one of the places where you can still make it work!
