5.0 out of 5 stars Up-to-date Paris, 10 Mar 2006
This guide provided the most up-to-date information about Paris and surrounding areas and was essential reading for those not familiar with the capital.

However, although many people seem to think guides are pretty useless for a well-known well-discovered city like Paris, this particular guide is also invaluble to the seasoned and expert travellers who might learn a thing or two from the new reviews of places to visit.

As far as I was aware, there are not many mistakes within the book and was my Bible in the capital, despite travelling to the area previously.

Beginners too are introduced to Paris in a very effective way and enables them to get the most out of the trip.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great even for a seasoned Paris-traveller, 26 Sep 2007
By Emma Hawes (Oxfordshire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been to Paris more times than I can count. We spent our family summer holidays there, I went there on school trips, I've been with friends, so when my boyfriend suggested a week there I thought 'surely I've seen all Paris has to offer?'.

We had a week in which to show him, a first-timer, all the sights and to also amuse me.

The Rough Guide was invaluable. I read it through and made a note of everything we might want to visit - all the main sights, all the galleries, the shops, and also found quite a few things I didn't know about like the magic museum.

I planned an itinerary (yeah, OK, i'm a bit of a Monica) and we raced round the city seeing EVERYTHING.

We found the restaurant reviews really helpful, and I enjoyed finding new corners of a city I thought I knew backwards.

The Rough Guide map was also brilliant - that paper really is indestructible.

Buy this book even if you think you know Paris, because you're bound to find something you haven't discovered before.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable Guide to Paris, 19 Sep 2007
I have just returned from a two day trip to Paris, during which I managed to pack in pretty much everything I wanted to do. Paris may be a well discovered city with landmarks as recognisable as your own house, but as this was my first trip to the city, I needed all the help I could get with metro lines and advice.
This book was invaluable. With a rough idea of the places I wanted to go, this book really helped me to form a decent plan from the moment I landed in Paris to the moment I departed. Add a couple of to the stated prices, as they have of course already increased, and this book will be your Bible for discovering the city, particularly if time if of the essence.
Nevertheless, one thing I failed to find whilst reading through this book, was the suggestion of taking an open top bus tour, of which there are four routes covered by one ticket; the main tour takes in all the most famous sights, apart from the Bastille, Sacre-Coeur and Moulin Rouge, but these are covered by the other buses. For a first visit with little time, that is a fabulous way to see the city, and personally I think it should have been included.
But nevertheless, if you are going to Paris, buy this book!! It will tell you all you need to know, and more.
