 Don't understand why this map got such good reviews in the first place... July 24, 2008

I bought this laminated streetwise paris map, and I REALLY don't like it! The map chops the entire Paris area in half, and displays one half on one side, and the other half on the other side of the map --- you cannot view the entire paris area all at one time, which creates a problem when you try to see which road leads to where -- you're constantly flipping the map over and back and forth, and you still cannot see how the roads (or metro lines) line up on the other side).
I really wish that the entire area was on one page (not double-sided)
So what that's it's small, it's absolutely useless...

Unless you plan to visit only the very center of Paris, this map is useless. If you want a map that covers all of the city, includes maps of the metro and bus lines, and fits easily in your purse or backpack, wait until you get to Paris and buy a "Plan de Paris" (a detailed pocket map) from any newsstand or bookstore.
 Best Map Ever July 9, 2008
This Streetwise map is the best map ever - no matter what city you need. I just returned from London and Paris and took one of each. As I checked with directions at the hotel desk, they both looked at my map and said it was the best one they had every seen! I agree! It's easy to read, has every street, landmarks,and Metro stops included.
A Little Too Large May 28, 2008
While the content of the map was great, the size and lamination would not allow it to fit into my purse. Actually ended up carrying the paper brochure map around from the hotel the whole trip, which also allowed for circling destinations easier.
Extremely helpful, little complaints May 23, 2008
This is about as complete a map as I think you can find. I tend to use a lot of maps, but always found myself going back to this one whenever we needed to navigate somewhere. We just got back from Paris, and I was able to find every single street I ever looked for on this map. I found the maps of the Metro stops easier to read on this map than the official Metro map.
The only drawbacks - the layout is a bit odd. They chose to center the center of the city, which makes sense, but for the North part you have to flip over, and for the South part, you have to flip over. Just a little unusual. Also, there are no Bus markers, if you were looking for that.
