Fantastic Guide to Paris - the latest edition published January 2012. I had initial concerns that the guide may be too weighty to carry around, especially given the existence of the Mini RG Paris Guide and its even smaller cousin, the Pocket RG Guide to Paris. However, I was relieved to find that this guide was not too thick at all (about 3cm thick from cover to cover) and its weight is suitable for a small travelling rucksack.
The maps and guidance were accurate and most useful, covering things in more detail than you would need in a sight seeing tour of Paris. Highly recommended and at a good price too!

I am a total devotee to Rough Guides whenever I travel, but this is the first I've read since they've had a new "makeover". The publishers have now gone for a matte look for the pictures and a slightly more abstract way of presenting some of the "things not to miss", which I like as it is a more modern and fresh style. The detail on prices, getting around and general coverage of everything you would ever want to see is, as usual, unbeaten by others on the market. This main edition is too large to pop in your pocket whilst exploring, but you can't have everything - if you prefer portability to detail, get the pocket sized edition.
My only complaint is some parts of the book aren't referenced well. Although all the sights I wanted to see were covered in the book somewhere, some were hard to find in the index, and a few pictures didn't appear to be labelled at all. For example, the front cover shows a cafe with Alphonse Mucha artwork on the tables; as he is my favourite artist I was wondering where the photo was taken, but I couldn't find that detail anywhere, although the photos on the inside cover were referenced. These are minor complaints though and generally I was very happy with the new layout and style of the book.

This was our bible as we spent the last 6 days in Paris! Some of the directions were a bit 'rough'.... it describes some places as 'opposite' others when they are actually 5 minutes up the road... but the maps and descriptions were enough for us to get around really easily and it probably saved us a lot of Euros - we simply bought a Paris-Pass and used the book as our guide rather than going on a group tour.
Definitely recommended!
