Summary: An excellent travel guide
Review: I traveled to Paris with my wife and kids for New Year's Eve 2002 and this little book never left our side. I really liked the price ratings for restaurants, the maps, the metro (subway) guide, the little tid bits of information for the different districts, the layout of the chapters (sights, museums, nightlife, shopping)... I could go on and on. The book came back dog-eared, underlined and highlighted after one week there. I plan to go back and it is definately coming along again.

Summary: very very detailed and up-to-date
Review: This book is a great introduction to what you will stumble upon in Paris. There is so much to see and do and this book categorizes it convenietely for travelers. The many details are very helpful for travelers and instructions on how to get out of the airport! Everything is just about accurate and said in plain English. It's great because it's not like the Parisians will help you get out of the airport and around teh city. A Travel book is very necessary. Two complaints: 1) In a lot of parts of the book it says certain places are dangerous or certain metro stops were dangerous. Although I think it's good to know place that are bad in town, I think the book was being a bit too protective. I went around many of those stops without problems. Also the maps! A more detailed metro and bus map would be a great complement. In Paris we didn't look at this book much, but had to use another book for a detailed metro map!
