Frommer's Memorable Walks in Paris

I enjoyed this guide book because of its practicality. It is small enough to carry and consult while walking. And it organizes things to see in a logical manner. Rather than going to see the Louvre you can see many interesting, notable sites on the way to and from the Louvre as well. I especially recommend this guide for first time visitors to Paris, a city I grew to love, in part due to this book's information.

Experiencing Paris by foot.

Paris is a perfect city to explore by foot and by public transportation. Divided into historical, artistic and literary themes, and using black-and-white maps (and no photographs), this basic-but-comprehensive guide offers eleven walking tours (each about three hours in length) that cover the city's most most interesting neighborhoods, including the intellectual Latin Quarter, artsy Montmartre, the Ile de la Cité on which Notre Dame is situated, the Marais district, St-Germain-des-Pres, and even the Pere-Lachaise Cemetery, where Jim Morrison, Oscar Wilde, and Proust are buried. Unlike other guides, this walking guide lacks helpful information on where to catch the Metro (Paris's subway) or bus along the way, but includes reliable recommendations for places to stop and shop, eat, drink, and sightsee along the way. Having completed several of the guided walks included in this guide during a recent visit to Paris, I can highly recommend this book for the first-time visitor to Paris not interested in wandering too far off the beaten Paris path.

Very useful, and interesting

The Frommer's book has many walks in popular areas, with interesting and not overwhelming historical, architectural, snacking, and sightseeing notes. Especially good for the first or second-time visitor, or someone who needs a refresher course on Paris.

The tour guide's best friend!

I took a group to Paris and used this book as my bible. All the books have the basic facts, but this one takes you down the side streets the other books pass by. I also like to tell all the tales of the city from the factual to the gruesome. This book helped me do that. If you're looking to explore Paris beyond just the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre you'll adore this book!
