Parisian Backstreets

 is the first level of Tomb Raider: The Angel of Darkness. It serves as the training area for the game.

Main Area
The main area contains locked doors and gates and the only way out is upwards. Two ladders are located in the area; the first leads to an upper balcony which contains a small apartment with an open window, which can be climbed into while the second leads to a higher balcony where the player has to jump to a canopy to reach another area with a drainpipe to climb to the rooftop. The rooftop contains a crowbar on a lower canopy behind a barrel including a shed. Opposite the lower canopy is a walkway which contains a guard and a key to the gate/

Hidden training area
The level contains hidden area accessible from here if you use the fly cheat to walk through the locked door down from the dog when the level first begins. This was originally intended to be the training for more advanced moves such as commando crawl, but was never finished. In spite of that it is still playable albeit with some missing textures.
