 Hugely helpful, even if you're not going to Paris. October 14, 2001

Suppose you're a writer who's working on a story set in Paris, but you've never been there and don't have any particular prospects of getting there anytime soon. What can you do for authentic locations and directions? Get a couple of guidebooks for color, but for the geography, this is the map. It covers almost everything within the Peripherique, has a very comprehensive map of the nigh-incomprehensible Metro system, and is generally the most useful aid to Paris navigation around. And it's durable enough to handle being used as a reference, too.
Most travelers will not need any other map April 5, 2001
There are maps with more detail, but this map is an essential. Lightweight, laminated (waterproof), pocket-sized, and with almost all the detail that most Paris visitors need. Fully-opened, it is still small and easy to use. A handy gazeteer lists many streets and monuments, with map grid locations. There are some very tiny streets/alleys that are hard to make out, but that is true for almost any
pocket-sized folding map for Paris. The only thing better than this would be Paris Plan Par Arrondissement which has a small section of Paris on each page, greater detail, but less convenience.
Buy it, take it, use it! October 16, 2000

Used it during pre-trip planning to research where to stay. Took it with us every day while exploring the streets of Paris, which can be confusing. Much better than a bulky paper fold-out map. Dropped our Streetwise while out in the rain but it suffered no damage because of its lamination. It also includes metro stops.Be sure to get the "Streetwise" map and not the "Artwise" map. The Streetwise series includes an index of street names on the reverse, while the Artwise gives a list of museums & opening times. Index of street names is much more useful. Also, the "Let's Go" people publish a similar type of map, but the Streetwise covers a greater area.
Should be hand-out with your Airlines tickets!!! May 1, 1999

This is an absolute must for any traveller to Paris. The folded plastic layout as well as the clarity and quality of the information contained is stagering. Makes it taking the metro and getting just about anywhere in Paris a breeze!!!!

The Streetwise Paris map contains excellent detail as to what's where, as well as an easy-to-read Metro (subway) map that provides the visitor with a fail-safe way to tour Paris. Whether a first-time visitor or a returnee, don't leave the U.S. without it.
