This book could be a lot better. The maps at the back could be a bit more detailed, and in my opinion, some of the information was a bit overly sensationalised and not practical nor helpful (unlike the Lonely Planet guides, which are ace). I think there could be more focus on the negative aspects of Paris as well. The descriptions are short and concise, but the format is too congested (buy the DK Eyewitness guide if you want a more interesting read), and the index in the back is terrible. I found it difficult to quickly find the information that I needed.
