Product Description
National Geographic Traveler: Paris, Second Edition offers a modern tour of the City of Lights. The guide provides background details and useful tips for visiting the Eiffel Tower, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Louvre, and other fabled sites, and guides you to lesser known delights such as the great Parisian parks, the Wallace Fountains, and the ultra-chic Avenue Montaigne. You'll find walking tours of the Old Marais and Montparnasse, discover the city's fascinating cemeteries, and even learn about great Parisian love affairs.

 Great, comprehensive guide to Paris August 23, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought this was a very useful guide to start with. It covers everything from history and culture to how to get around Paris and of course what to do and see as well as where to eat, etc. The pictures are absolutely lovely, and the Paris metro guide in the back comes in handy. The maps could be more detailed, though. For those who can manage French, I would suggest buying an actual guide in French like Le Guide du Routard. No pictures there, but a lot more information.
 Pre-trip planning or armchair traveling August 17, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
An excellent book for pre trip planning or leaving in the hotel room to check out the next days sights or review what was seen that day. Great photos, good detailed explanations of major sights. Unlike a Knopf book there is not a lot of pages dedicated to history or architecture or plants and animals. For the major sights like the Louvre the book will walk you through (11 pages devoted to the Louvre). Not strong on shopping or nightlife or less well known sights, the maps to the front of each geographic section are an overview but not great for street by street navigating.
An excellent book, good reading, great photos, not the book to take into the streets, but a definite book to have if you are going. Also great for an armchair traveller.
