Summary: very helpful guide
Review: Just returned from a trip to Paris. Found this little guide very helpful. Used this along with bigger guide books, but this is the one we carried with us every day because it was so easy to fold up and carry in a pocket. The walking tours were very good and the suggestions about where to stop and where to eat excellent.

Summary: This made our trip!
Review: This was given to us by a friend prior to our trip. I barely looked at it and thought "well, this might help". The evening we arrived in Paris we decided to plan our next day. I pulled out this guide and realized this was our only hope for seeing all we wanted to see in a timely manner. The most valuable piece of information Jeanne gives in this guide is where the Metro stations are located and what train we need to catch to get to our desired destinations. Couple this guide with the metro & city map provided by the metro stations and probably your hotel and you have a fail-safe tour of Paris! Not only did we see all we wanted to see but we did it in an efficient manner! We travelled with my in-laws and they couldn't stop complimenting me on what a wonderful tour I "put together"! I highly suggest Walk C!

Summary: Extremely helpfu, convenient, comprehensive, easy-to-use
Review: We've used Jeanne Oelerich's walking guides in Rome, Florence, Venice, and Paris and have found these truly unique guides to be the single most helpful sources in planning our day and time around the places that we want to visit. They are lightweight, compact, and remarkably comprehensive, with large, easy to read maps of specific areas, showing all the major sights, and many less obvious ones; good restaurants, great views, and special treats, such as small craft shops or great ice-cream. There are often museum floor-plans, brief histories of the area, travel and packing tips, ad glossaries. An incredible bargain!
