5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to avoid the pitfalls of tourism 18 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
I bought this book recently to take my girlfriend for a weekend trip to Paris.

Time was of the essence and we wanted to get in as much of the city as we could in the 2 short days.

This guide was well laid out, covers all of the areas of Paris, gives you an informed opinion as well as historic facts and points of interest of the city.

I found that our entire weekend was packed with interesting facts, suggestions and reasons to visit different sites, all thanks to a little guidance from the book.

Want a decent seafood resturant in Little Italy? A cheap cafe near the Sacre Cour? or want to book a Champagne meal at the Moulin Rouge? This guide gave you names, streets, maps opening and closing times, metro maps, where to buy theatre tickets and prices as well as the all essential "Things to avoid", even down to how much we should expect to pay for a taxi from the airport.

The next time I take a leasure trip abroad, I will definately check Lonely Planet has a guide to it first.

Better than having a local showing you round.....and you won't need to buy them a drink either!

1.0 out of 5 stars Do not even think about buying this guide. 15 Mar 2011
By perks
Format:Paperback
This is the worst Lonely Planet book ever. The way in which information is listed is difficult to follow and appears inconsistent. The main map is also difficult to handle as it has to be cut away from the book and then folds out to triple the size you actually need. The other smaller maps within the book also appear to have a system all of their own that I failed to fathom throughout my entire trip. I am an experienced traveller, and have always found other Lonely Planet guides to be user friendly and accurate. I wouldn't normally write a negative review, and especially towards this company, but I was so disappointed by this book I feel compelled to warn other travellers to avoid it.

3.0 out of 5 stars It is okay... 12 May 2010
By A. Rhawi Dantas
Format:Paperback
I should have taken the other reviews into consideration before buying this guide but since I had Lonely Planet China, and it was AWESOME, I thought I would give it a try.

The guide is divided by neighborhoods, which dont tell much if it's your first time in Paris, so I was forced to make a list of all the things I wanted to do in that neighborhood, one by one. Each neighborhood has a "highlights" and its useful if you do the same way as I did.

There is just enough information about the sights and nice restaurant listing, I found few nice restaurants. I dont think much more information should go in a guide. For that you can print wikipedia pages or search for some information on net before leaving.

If only I could go back in time I would have bought another guide or this one used.

Included map is very nice. If you have a Nokia phone I recommend downloading the off-line maps for Paris also.

I've been using the guide to plan our vacation, and find the guide useful (as expected). One challenge has been how to plan an itinerary.
