Editorial Reviews: This opening fold-out contains a general map of Paris to help you visualize the 8 large districts discussed in this guide, and 4 pages of valuable information, handy tips and useful addresses. Discover Paris through 8 districts and 6 maps Latin Quarter/ The islands/ Montparnasse Orsay/ Louvre/ Opera Les Halles/ Le Marais Invalides/ Champ-de-Mars/ Trocadero Grands Boulevards/ Montmarte Bastille/ Faubourg Saint-Antoine/ Oberkampf Menilmontant/ Belleville/ La Villette Place d’Italie/ Bibliotheque Nationale/ Bercy For each district there is a double-page of addresses (restaurants — listed in ascending order of price — cafés, bars, music venues and stores) followed by a fold-out map for the relevant area with the essential places to see (indicated on the map by a star *). These places are by no means all that Paris has to offer but to us they are unmissable. The grid-referencing system (A B2) makes it easy for you to pinpoint addresses quickly on the map. Transportation and hotels in Paris The last fold-out consists of a transportation map and 4 pages of practical information that include a selection of hotels. A thematic index lists all the sites and addresses featured in this guide.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Very handy for travelers Comment: I travel abroad a lot. This is the best style of map guide I have found. It's small enough to carry around, but you don't have to open up a full map and figure out how to refold it again while standing in the street. The only thing it lacks is street listings. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect size guide book Comment: A handy sized guide to take along in my purse without feeling weighted down. The fold out maps are very nice but I would like to have had just one blank page for writing extra notes! Customer Rating: Summary: Indispensable! Comment: I absolutely love this guidebook. Its format is extremely convenient: small enough to fit in a purse or a coat pocket, yet detailed enough to provide most of the information you need. The small fold- out maps cover the entire city and are easy to read. There is information about services such as bank opening times. It lists places to stay, shop and eat according to one's budget (the choices are very good) and of course what to see. My very favorite feature is the subway map in back of the book, a must if you want to get around inexpensively and efficiently. I wouldn't dream of going to Paris without it! Customer Rating: Summary: This book saves lives! Comment: Well OK, not lives, but it made a first time visit to Paris in June 2007 even more wonderful than it already was! We went to Paris as a family group of eight as the last part of a trip that also included Madrid and Barcelona. This book and its companion edition on Barcelona were extremely helpful and up to date. The beginning overview easily segues into the separate detail maps of different sections of the city. They are large enough to show street level detail in print large enough to be read without reading glasses. They are easily read in dim light, stiff enough to be read in a breeze and small enough to be somewhat covert (that is, it isn't obvious to everyone within a block that you don't know where you are). The metro and train maps at the back are accurate and a real helpful and thoughtful addition to each book. The entries on attractions, restaurants, shopping, and music were well written, accurate and up to date. We did not encounter listed places that were out of business or at great variance as to price. Customer Rating: Summary: A great series Comment: I find this series very helpful when I travel. they're small enough carry around and accurate/detailed enough to actually be helpful.
