Summary: Absolutely the Best Maps of Paris
Review: Good simple guide to Paris for those with limited time who want to get around Paris. Good to put in ones hip pocket when a large bulky guide book would be left possibly in the hotel room. I recommend it. I am a retired US Army Colonol, but I still love Paris!

Summary: Absolutely Indispensible
Review: Having just returned from Paris, I must say that learning how to navigate the city via the metro and RER is essential. How to do it? Buy this Mapguide. The only criticism I have is that the descriptions in the front for each site/attraction should also list the arondissement and metro station; I had to use another reference to find those.

Summary: Incredibly useful and always helpful!
Review: Having used the "London Mapguide" this past winter, we knew that the "Paris Mapguide" was going to be useful, and we were absolutely right! The Mapguide shows virtually every nook and cranny of the city, and it's almost impossible to get lost with the Mapguide in hand! Its compact size is great and we often took the Mapguide without any other guidebooks. There's some good information in the front of the book, along with good public transporation maps, and all of Paris's monuments and museums are also shown. Indispensable! Every city ought to have a Mapguide. Currently, I think only three are covered - London, Paris and New York. Worth every penny (or centime) and more!

Summary: Best [money] I Ever Spent
Review: I am not an impulse shopper, but I bought this little book when I went to Amazon to buy Rick Steve's Paris guide (also great). It has an amazing amount of information in a small but easy to read format - and this means easy to read for eyes that are not so young anymore. It fits in a pocket and weighs almost nothing. It has a Metro map, of course, but also maps of the city in small sections as you would expect in a really good atlas. You can find Metro stops, bus routes and numbers, small streets, and sights in each area. Because it is so much smaller than a typical atlas, it is easy to take with you and use - on a crowded Metro train for example. Although free maps are easy to come by in Paris, this is worth every nickel. It even has great sightseeing information. A bargain at twice the price.

Summary: Never Lose Your Way
Review: I carried this little book everywhere in Paris, and consulted it frequently to find my way around... it was incredibly helpful. It's highly detailed but easy to use, and contains a full street index. An excellent choice for visitors to La Ville Lumiere.

Summary: An incredibly helpful map
Review: I don't usually get too excited about things like maps, but this one--purchased on the recommendation of a friend--is worthy of all the praise. My wife and I took it on our first trip to Paris and it proved invaluable, with a level of detail we just didn't find in other maps. It was also easy to use.

Summary: The Best!
Review: I have used this book on several trips to Paris - fits in a purse, very detailed, easy to read. I have recommended it to fellow travelers - even those who thought they knew their way around have switched over to this "pamphlet" sized book of maps. Just bought the London version. Note: this is essentially a book of maps. There's a few pages regarding the "sights" but not much. But it sure will help you get to the sights! Couple this book with Access Paris and you're ready to go!
