The Paris Mapguide: The Essential Guide to LA Vie Parisienne

Rating:
Summary: Handy size with detailed maps
Review: To be honest, we picked up a Metro (subway) map and a free city map and used those more than we used this one. It was just one more book to carry along with us. The size is handy and the maps are very detailed....when we got lost, we did use this map book to find our way to where we needed to be. I can say that I recommend it if you are not an experienced traveler or if you plan to do a lot of exploring on foot.

Summary: The only map you need, and the most convenient
Review: We had all sorts of travel guides with maps in them, but the easiest, most convenient one to use is the Paris Mapguide. It's small enough and light enough to carry around. It's organized well enough to find streets easily. I think this is an essential map to have if you're going to be walking around Paris. It also has all of the major sites, museums, etc marked out on the map. I still think it's good to have a travel guide to explain all the sights and also a restaurant guide if you care about that stuff. But, for maps, this is #1. My only recommendation for the guide is the Metro (subway) map doesn't have the same colors as the metro maps in the subway. They should be color coordinated. Beyond that, it's a great guide.

Summary: Good travel maps
Review: We used this mapguide extensively in France. I bought it because it also had metro maps in addition to the street maps.

Summary: THE essential Paris guide
Review: Whether on foot or riding the Metro, take this compact guide with you everywhere. A tip: each night before bed, plan your Metro routes for the next day --- saves a lot of time, confusion and aggravation, especially when there's a change of Metro lines involved (as there usually is). Can't say enough good things about this guide.
