'What's cool about Phaidon Press' Wallpaper City Guides is that they're small enough to fit in a purse or backpack, and colorful enough to find amidst all the other stuff crammed in there. What's even cooler is that they cut through all the regular travel-brochurese and focus on the edgiest nightclubs, restaurants, hotels, gyms, spas and stores.' Sky-Delta Airlines 'Ultra-stylish.' Time Magazine 'Attractive and well-researched.' USA Today 'No ordinary range of city guides - for the business traveller who wants to break free from their hotel - For anyone who relishes an alternative view of life' Royal Wings 'Don't just paint the town, Wallpaper it.' Cara (Aer Lingus in-flight magazine), September 2006 'While the pocket-sized guides will look very slick lined up on a shelf, they're made for travelling.' Easyjet 'Concise, informative manuals from people who've actually been there. They're refreshingly devoid of details on the nearest backpacker's hostel, too. And they look very pretty.' Esquire 'Sophisticated but simple.' The New York Times 'Sparkling images and convenient format' Frame 'Small, stylish and beautifully illustrated, the Wallpaper* City Guides make everything else look old hat. ... The photographs and maps are superb.' The Sydney Magazine 'For a different way to see a city, they're damn near indispensable.' Gay Times

I have used Wallpaper* guides for other cities and with a trip to Paris coming up, it seemed worth going for the 2011 guide for that City.
These guides really are brilliant and this Paris one is no exception, featuring some of the most newly opened and (apparently) hip places to go to in France's capital. If you want a street-by-street guide (with a map showing similar detail) and a discussion of the historical places to visit, then this guide probably won't do the job, but if you are keen to have a good time, see something slightly different and stay/eat in cool and unusual places, then the guide really is essential. I wouldn't say that the guide is that useful once you are on the trip but I did find it very helpful when planning beforehand. That said, the Wallpaper* guides are so small and portable that they are probably the easiest thing to take around with you. Bring updated on an annual basis as well gives the guide a fresh and relevant feel.
Although I've supplemented this guide with plenty of follow-up Google searching and purchasing more specific guides (Zagat and Michelin), the beauty of this is that it is broad enough (i.e. not just a food or hotel guide) - it really does cover enough of everything.

Going to Paris in the spring. Will be a great little alternative guide book. Wallpaper Guides always show you the places the locals love.

If you like design, hip restaurants and the coolest bars this is the Le Cool of travel guides to Paris - always up to date - very much a weekend guide.
Used the one for Buenos Aires and was just as good. Not for everyone but if you read Wallpaper you will know what to expect.

An alternative guide
I love Paris and have visited many times. This book though told me about places off the tourist trail. I will definitely buy others.

Misleading title
I thought it was going to be a city guide which it wasn't. A bit high brow for me even though the illustrations were beautiful.
