Reviews by readers

Best insiders glimpse of Paris!

I stumbled upon this gem when buying 6 Paris guidebooks to Paris for [a.] a long flight, and [b.] a week of business in France. This Anthony Glyn publication significantly out-did the others. It was insightful, and USEFUL, and, best of all, quite humorous. I liked so much, I bought one dozen as Christmas presents for co-workers with future stints in Paris. I recommend to one, and all -- those visiting briefly as well as those with longer stays.

I intend to buy Mr. Glyn's Rome Companion, and hope he expands his work to other cities in the near future.

Excellent guide, but not for everyone

This book is very heavy on text and very light on maps and other illustrations. The text is informative and conveys the perspective of someone who clearly has long familiarity with the city. So for the reader ready to spend some time and sink into the book, it is an excellent guide. But if you are looking for something that tells you what to see if you have two days or uses graphics to point you quickly to the major sights, stick with the other guides. Put another way, this book is old-fashioned and it feels old-fashioned. Great for some readers, but not for everyone.
