5 out of 5 stars Paris 2008   August 13, 2008
This is the best book on Paris. And it appeared that every American in Paris that we saw was carrying one! We had the Lonely Planet Paris also and a Frommer's but left them in the apartment and carried this one. I had faxed one of the recommended hotels ahead of our trip and while we chose to rent an apartment the hotel was going to honor what was promised by Rick Steves. We learned quickly that when it came to museums and Versailles to follow Rick's instructions. We were not disappointed. We especially liked the walking tour maps.

I have used Rick Steves book to plan my Paris visit this Christmas, and it has great information for travelers who want to mix with the local culture. I particularly like the all the details he provides because they often make the difference between a 'good' trip and a 'great' trip.


5 out of 5 stars Practical and thorough   July 12, 2008
This book is great. It is detailed without being overwhelming and gives lots of great practical advice.

Great information and I love Rick Steves's books. I go to Paris next week and know his informative book will help me get around to the important sights.


2 out of 5 stars Doesn't really work on the Kindle   June 27, 2008
  2 out of 3 found this review helpful

While this is the usual good Rick Steves book, the Kindle edition lacks the maps (other than a few line drawings) which you need in a guidebook. So if you thought you could take this to Paris and use as your main guidebook, you would be disappointed. The text is fine, and is typically useful, but it is hard to figure out where things are without maps.
