A really useful and compact guide book, with detailed information on each area of Paris, plus a good fold out map.
Up to date, easy to read, and plenty of information on generalities such as tipping and national holidays, as well as specifics recommending bike hire tips, and resteraunt info.
Good value and easily portable. Perfect for a short break.

I'd never been to Paris, so I had to do some research before going. My boyfriend had been, but it's always me who decides what we're gonna do when away, otherwise we don't see what we want to see.
I managed to use this book to plan out our days before we got there and it all worked out a treat. I'm really glad for the tips in the book- like going to the Eiffel Tower late in the day when the queues are low and see the City of Lights from high up- an amazingly beautiful and romanic sight, if a little nippy.
I'd been loaned two other Paris books, much bigger than this little book, but found they had alot of details about alot of places that I wasn't going to go to, so I used this little book as a person going to Paris for a week, not for months.
We found the fold out street map, and back page metro map very very helpful and stopped us from getting lost every day. The book is small enough to fit in my handbag, and so I could look stuff up as a passed things that I'd heard of, but not planned to go to.
I'm very happy with this book, and next time I go to Paris I'll take the same one, and probably the time after that too.

The highlights and descriptions of places to see are good. It was let down by the fact that couldn't find some of the restaurants listed, at least one of them had closed down. Also the maps of the centre are good, but if you live anywhere slightly further out of town (we were in 17th) it won't have a decent map of the local area. We had to rely on another, much older, guide book for this information. The maps also sometimes made it difficult to work out exactly where certain things (again restaurants) were - we ended up walking round and round block looking for particular streets because the map was unclear.

Good quality
This book is of good quality at its given price. My only problem was that I wish it included the map or that it indicated that the pull-out map was not included in the book. Read more

Nice little guide
This colorful book is arranged as a collection of sights, activities and eateries. The "highlights" section at the beginning is a great resource for your first visit to Paris.

good guide for a hand luggage weekend in paris
Useful if you're travelling light (hand luggage only), doesn't have much in the way of accomodation and restaurant recommendations but it is a small book so understand some things... Read more

Great
Usual Lonely planet quality...never go anywhere without one of their guides. Yes, you will find your own little places off the guide but that is the point. Read more
