Thorough, Comprehensive and well-put together - excellent guide for Paris

Thorough, Comprehensive and well-put together.

From all the travel books out there on Paris this one is not a compilation of mere facts, photos, phone numbers and page-fillers.

What sets Frommer's apart is the information provided and the style in which is presented. You will find lodging options for various budgets, a list of most important sites to see and even suggested ways to spend time in Paris if you have only 1 day or as much as 5 days, great places to eat and great places to splurge if you can stretch your dollar. Be aware that this is not a book for the ones on a shoestring budget. Frommer provides a good introduction to Paris without being overloading you with mass amounts of information or pictures, a truly well-balanced book.

When I backpacked 4 months through Europe I had a copy of the Lonely Planet for Europe (a thick and heavy book) because it covered more cities and esoteric towns, a ripped chapters of all the international youth hostals Europe of the countries I visited, and as primary guide for nominal cities and capitals I used Frommers (ripped the book and kept only chapters of countries planning to visit - so I can keep the weight down).

Best Guide and Map of Paris

Short and Sweet: Just came back from Paris and this guide was the best. The map that comes with it was also the best regarding size, portability, legibility, durability, and location of Metro stops. This will be the first book I reference on all future return trips to this beautiful city.

Great travel guide

I especially like that these guides are updated every year and contain the most up-to-date information.
