Customer Reviews

Invaluable
This book was essential to me having a fantastic week in Paris.

Its Metro map served me particularly well and much easier to use than standing ina crowdd of 50 other tourists trying to decipher maps on the underground map on a wall.

Recommendations on ways to entertain children (we had a 4yr old with us)were pretty much spot on and all in all i would recommend the guide as an invaluable companion.

Comprehensive and invaluable!
This book contains a lot of fascinating information on virtually every aspect of visiting Paris. Great layout, great tips and the metro map at the back of the book was invaluable when we visited on one of Paris' busiest tourist days (Valentine's Day!) when the Metro was extremely busy with lots of people crowding round the maps on the wall!

Gay Paris!
This was my first visit to Paris since a primary school trip some 15 years ago, so thought i'd better get a guide book. The layout of the book was excellent and easy to use. There were plenty of helpful pointers for things to do, and more importantly for me, where to eat. A great help in insuring I was able to make the most of my short visit. Tres bien
