Paris 2009 Guide Book

The Foder Paris 2009 guide book was useful while on our trip to Paris. We used the book for sightseeing recommendations, as well as information on public transportation, etc. The map that came with the book was helpful. Overall we we satisfied with the guide book.

Great Guidebook

I have been using Fodor's Guidebooks since my honeymoon in 1994. I really enjoy the organization of the book. There are sections devoted to main attractions, hotels, restaurants, shopping etc. Each of these sections are then divided by area of the city, and then by price or specialty. Therefore, as you find youself in a certain part of the city visiting a certain site, you can quickly find a great place to eat at the budget you need or shop for specialty items. My husband and I also enjoy antiques, and these guidebooks always help us find both the main antique shops, as well as flea markets. The Fodor's Choices, in all price ranges, have never failed to please. Great tips for avoiding lines and crowds. I would recommend any of the books from the series.

A Must Have

This was my first trip to Paris and I don't know what I would have done without this guide glued to my side. I used the suggested itineraries as my starting off point, then subtracted and added "top attractions" as needed. My husband and I stayed in Montparnasse, so the sections on each arrondissement were invaluable. I even found the brief summaries on the architecture and history of Paris helpful. I've become a true francophile because of this guide and hope my trip is the beginning of a beautiful relationship with the city of lights!

Fodor's Paris 2007

Good book, very good information. It had been helpful when I was in Paris.

Fodor's Paris is a must!

Fodor's Paris 2000 Gold Travel Guide is in good, like-new condition. It has minimal highlighting in the travel section. If you're not familiar with the Fodor's guides, they're a must for any traveller! This Paris guide includes sections on "Exploring Paris", "Dining", "Lodging", "Nightlife and the Arts", "Outdoor Activities and Sports", "Shopping", "Side Trips from Paris", and "Background and Essentials". Each section of Paris is broken down into managable, easy to understand neighborhoods with suggested routing and stops along the way making it easy for readers to know at a glance just where they are--and where they want to go. A 5 day itinerary section is also included, as well as a section on traveling Paris with kids. As with all Fodor's guides, the section on "Smart Travel Tips" is a must! It includes extensive, practical information about getting into and out of Paris, banking and postal services, safety, transportation, and more.
