About this book

This Paris guide is definitely in keeping with the Let's Go philosophy that cheap "is the only way to travel": most accommodations described run from Fr 100 to 250 per night for singles. If it's luxury and elegance you're looking for, try one of the guides that start with F. While it may be the cheapskate's choice, the size of Let's Go Paris 1998 (300-plus pages) attests that it is rich in detail. It won't fit in your pocket, but it will fill you in on particulars like vintage-clothing shops, discos, day trips outside the city, and the ins and outs of politesse. In addition to standard listings of hotels, restaurants, shops, and sights, the Let's Go student researcher-writers have included handy Internet addresses, maps, and special features like the "Let's Go Picks" list of special places in Paris: the best free view of the Seine, best park, best old quarter, best cheap wine, and more. --Jhana Bach

Reviews by readers

Best portable map!

As soon as I got this book, I took out the inner pages, and just used the cover. The Metro and city maps printed on it proved indispensible. The plastic coated cover made it last through jacket pockets, jean pockets and rush hour Metro human sardines. You *need* a good portable map, and I found this one to be the one for me!

Let's Go Map Guide - Paris

Lets Go Map Guides are very good. They are concise, lightweight, and an easy size to store in a coat pocket. You will probably need an additional more detailed map though. But their maps are useful and the Metro Map (subway system) is indispensable. The recommendations on places to stay or restaurants is hit or miss. I would use some other guide book for that.

More guide than map

I was looking for a detailed map in the form of a book, with a complete street index. This book has maps on the fold-out covers, a scant 28 pages of text-only sightseeing guidebook material, and a street index. It's more guide than map.

Check out "The Paris Mapguide" by Middleditch for the best maps I've found. Get the Michelin Green Guide for Paris if you want guidebook material (where to stay, what to see) with detailed area maps. For France, look at Michelin or Lonely Planet guides.

Bon Voyage!
