Summary: gorgeous but pricey
Review: Without a doubt, this is one of the most beautiful guide books I've seen. The maps are clear and the pictures are gorgeous. I especially like how they map out little strolls for each major neighborhood of the city, indicating and describing all the sights like a personal tour guide. However, the hotels and the restaurants that are suggested are really pricey. If you're a starving student, like I am, or travelling on a limited budget, I'd suggest "lonely planet" or "let's go" travel guides. They don't have any lovely pictures, but your francs will stretch much farther.

Summary: Best Guide Book
Review: I have the brand new year 2000 edtion of this book and am planning my 9th trip to Paris. I have compared the other guide books with this and find this is the one I'm taking with me. The maps are great. On some of the streets it actually shows you where the numbers begin, especially helpful on long streets, so you do not start at the wrong end. The pictures are great along with brief descriptions and layouts of the parks and famous buildings. Contrary to what I have read. the size is good with over 400 pages it is a compact, tightly bound book with a durable cover. The street guide in the back is wonderful when used inconjunction with the maps. As a travel agent, I recommend this book as most useful.

Summary: Beautiful
Review: This is a gorgeous guide full of great pictures and wonderful street by street maps. It is useful in helping determine what you want to see, but not for getting around, finding places to stay or eat - strictly useful for site seeing only. However, combined with the Idiot's Guide to Paris and a good map - the City of Lights will be yours!

Summary: Suprisingly accurate - the best
Review: On my trip to Paris, I found this book to be indispensible and carried it with me every day. I would recommend it (and already have to others and my library) for anyone visiting Paris for the first time.

Summary: Greatest Travel Guide Ever!
Review: We have been using the Eyewitness Travel Guides for several years. The first we purchased was for our trip around the world and we bought one for our stop in Amsterdam. We has several different guides for the other stops on our trip but, none were as helpful and informative as the Eyewitness. We have since been to Venice, London and Paris and the Eyewitness Guides have always joined us in our travels and always will - they're priceless. We even brought one for New York to help us learn more about our town.

Summary: A Most Useful Guide
Review: Found this to be the most useful guide to the City Of Lights. Illustrations are very helpful. Slips into a big pocket. Useful when used in conjunction with the Michelin maps. This book needs an update soon.
