The Paris Shopping Companion: A Personal Guide to Shopping in Paris for Every Pocketbook

Rating:
Summary: A different (and delightful) way to explore Paris.
Review: This is one of the most dog-eared marked-up books I own. Whether you are looking for high-end items or more economical finds, this is a great resource. In each shop description, the authors clearly identifies the merchandise available, whether the items are inexpensive, expensive, or very expensive, and offers her own personal (and helpful) observations. Sections are divided into the main shopping districts and each includes a well-drawn, easy to understand map. I use this book for planning walks based on my shopping interests and budget...and thereby discover whole neighborhoods I would probably never explore otherwise. You'll not only enjoy the shopping, but see much more of the city than you would on the usual tourist paths.

Summary: I found a NEW Paris
Review: This was my third trip to Paris, albeit, on a student budget, and this book helped me to find the best bargains and many interesting shops and districts. Organized perfectly for the Paris walker!

Summary: WOW what a resource!
Review: Wow...thats all I can say about how helpful this book was on my recent trip to Paris. I'm not one for guide books or anything of the like, but because of a ringing endorsement from a coworker, I bought this book hoping it would be something different from all the rest...Well boy am I glad I did! Not only did Winkler's book act as a roadmap for the paris shopping scene, it was also a pleasure to read. Definitely pick this one up if you are even considering a trip to the hope of the Effiel Tower, you'll be glad you did.
