I visit Paris regularly and so I feel I know the city pretty well, however this brilliant book has pointed me to many places I had previously missed. That is wonderful, because that is exactly what I bought it for! I particularly like the "neglected museums" listings and also the "interesting shops" recommendations. It is helpfully divided by area and includes hotels, bars, restaurants and cafes as well as principle sights and a very informative description of each area of the city. Once you have visited the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, Sacre Coeur etc, this is the book you need to start really discovering Paris! You just need to be aware that in Paris, as in every other city in Europe, cafes and restaurants etc do close down for all sorts of reasons, so don't be too disappointed if the one you were looking for has disappeared - there are still plenty more super places to find, enjoy and recommend to your friends when you get home.
