5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to avoid the pitfalls of tourism, 18 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Paris (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)
I bought this book recently to take my girlfriend for a weekend trip to Paris.

Time was of the essence and we wanted to get in as much of the city as we could in the 2 short days.

This guide was well laid out, covers all of the areas of Paris, gives you an informed opinion as well as historic facts and points of interest of the city.

I found that our entire weekend was packed with interesting facts, suggestions and reasons to visit different sites, all thanks to a little guidance from the book.

Want a decent seafood resturant in Little Italy? A cheap cafe near the Sacre Cour? or want to book a Champagne meal at the Moulin Rouge? This guide gave you names, streets, maps opening and closing times, metro maps, where to buy theatre tickets and prices as well as the all essential "Things to avoid", even down to how much we should expect to pay for a taxi from the airport.

The next time I take a leasure trip abroad, I will definately check Lonely Planet has a guide to it first.

Better than having a local showing you round.....and you won't need to buy them a drink either!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Guide to Paris( A City Guide), 27 Nov 2003
By A Customer
An outstanding guide book well worth the purchasing. We did't leave our hotel room without it. The Maps were detailed and covered all of Paris. The Subject matter within the book covered all of the areas that were concerning us on our first time visit to Paris. Over all a good clear uderstanding thats presented well.
(Best to know a little french before hand or see back of book!)

2.0 out of 5 stars bad guide, 25 Dec 2008
This review is from: Paris (Lonely Planet City Guide) (Paperback)
This is a very unfriendly and unhelpful guide.
There is almost no information on what there is to SEE or DO anywhere (the Louvre section, for example, just tells you that it is very big and that many people don't like it, the Asteriks Park section tells you it has a Gallic Village, and a Rome section "etc.", and that's it).
Furthermore, the guide very annoyingly, is arranged by Departementes, so you get to know everything about a particular quarter of Paris, rather than group places by common theme (museums, parks etc.). What do I care if two things are in different quarters?
Unless I already know the political map of Paris extremely well, I cannot actually find anything I'm interested in without reading the whole guide. The index is even worse - again grouped by stupid subjects rather than, say, alphabetically...
Very difficult to get any useful information.
