First I agree with talking with your vet about the relative safety or dangers of exercising and allowing your puppy to go outside. Each country could have slightly different vaccination protocols that hopefully reflect the health risks of that country.

So many ppl have so many different opinions about the use of peepads. You just need to do what is right by your dog, given your living environment.

I have been a few times to Paris, a beautiful city, and very urban. You certainly can peepad train inside and then train to go outside, especially if the risks of being walked in the urban environment are high, given he has not had all his shots.

Once your puppy has had all his shots, then a measured exposure to the outside environment is a great beginning of socialization and training.
