Short and sweet

Love the book. Has all the vital information in a small package complete with fold out maps, pictures and to-the-point, succinct descriptions. This book and series is perfect for a cursory overview of Paris. Also, I love the cover image.....which was shot by yours truly. [...]

Great little guidebook...

I love this book! I'm going to Paris for a couple of months this summer and I went to Barnes and Noble and sat down with a stack of about 10 different Paris city guides... and this one was the best. It's full of great color pictures and a ton of cool sights and restaurants and things I'd never heard of but can't wait to try. Buy this book if you need a Paris guide! I'm having a blast sitting and planning my trip :) and it comes with a pull out map!

Best Pocket-Sized Travel Book Around!

The Lonely Planet Encounter series of travel books is my favorite, and the Paris edition is no exception. It's THE book to have if you plan on being in Paris for a few days and need the best highlights of the City of Lights. It's broken up into easy-to-understand sections, based on the most popular Paris neighborhoods. The easy-to-read maps are also wonderful, as they show the best in restaurants, museums, shops and more, and clearly ID Metro stops that make getting around Paris a breeze. Finally, it's the perfect size--it easily fits into a cargo pocket or back pocket of a pair of jeans...no bulky book here. I only wish Lonely Planet would publish more cities in this format, especially Rome. But if Paris is on your agenda, you must buy this book!

Fantastic Guide!!

A friend and I visited Paris for the first time together and Lonely Planet made it so easy! The book is organized very well and most of our itinerary we took straight out of the book. It also has great maps that made it easy to navigate the city (with the heart of Paris being able to be discovered on foot). I also bought the Lonely Planet China and have so fat found it incredibly useful. LONELY PLANET ROCKS!
