Summary: Best portable map!
Review: As soon as I got this book, I took out the inner pages, and just used the cover. The Metro and city maps printed on it proved indispensible. The plastic coated cover made it last through jacket pockets, jean pockets and rush hour Metro human sardines. You *need* a good portable map, and I found this one to be the one for me!

Summary: More guide than map
Review: I was looking for a detailed map in the form of a book, with a complete street index. This book has maps on the fold-out covers, a scant 28 pages of text-only sightseeing guidebook material, and a street index. It's more guide than map. Check out "The Paris Mapguide" by Middleditch for the best maps I've found. Get the Michelin Green Guide for Paris if you want guidebook material (where to stay, what to see) with detailed area maps. For France, look at Michelin or Lonely Planet guides. Bon Voyage!

Summary: The last review is about a different book!
Review: I'll be honest. I haven't used Let's Go Paris 2000. But I just want to point out that the 1-star review given here is actually for the Let's Go Paris Map Guide, a year-old 30-page pamphlet, not the 200-page just-updated Let's Go Paris. So ignore that review and make up your own mind

Summary: Let's Go Map Guide - Paris
Review: Lets Go Map Guides are very good. They are concise, lightweight, and an easy size to store in a coat pocket. You will probably need an additional more detailed map though. But their maps are useful and the Metro Map (subway system) is indispensable. The recommendations on places to stay or restaurants is hit or miss. I would use some other guide book for that.

Summary: Poor map, other info available elsewhere
Review: The format looks great, a map and summaries of hotels, restuarants and attractions, but it did not work out at all for us. The Lets Go Map takes a long, narrow north/south slice through the heart of tourist Paris which excluded many important areas, like the Pantheon, the flea markets, the interesting cemetaries, etc. During a two week stay, half the places we wanted to go were off the map. We ended up buying a Michelin street map which was great and had every street in the city!

Summary: If you are going to Paris...GET THIS BOOK!
Review: The Let's Go Paris guide book is incredible!! I found it completely informative and a valuable asset while in Paris. This book is so thorough, it even tells you which Metro stops to avoid at night! Realistic prices are listed for hotel and dining, avoiding all unhappy surprises...the 'essentials' section was especially brilliant...i recommend this book wholeheartedly!! Bravo! 5 Stars!!

Summary: Everything you need to know
Review: This book is the definitive guide to Paris -- at least for those, like myself, who had never been. From the planning process, through the daily ins-and-outs, there was hardly anything I could not find in this guide. It was my bible for the entire trip. I thought the maps were helpful, providing detailed views of each arrondisement. But you may want additional maps - specifically the large metro/city map which can be found almost anywhere, and a pocket-sized metro map so you don't have to fumble with a book or a big map when you're in the metro station. Two tips they left out: street signs are found on the buildings, and the tourism office gives bad advice more often than not. In short, get this book! You'll not regret it.
