• Excellent Guide Book But........... 16 September, 2008
First, I bought Fodor's France 2008 and then bought Fodor's Paris 2008 which gave me more detailed information I needed for my vacation. Stayed in Paris 8ni/9da and it was excellent.
The book was very detailed and gives you information by section. I didn't even buy a map when I got to Paris and just used to the book and it was great.
However, I think this book can be improved and I was going to put this on Fodor's website but I wanted to write it down on my reveiw first.
When you indicate names of subway stations, please write down which line it belongs to. For example, Metro Concorde (line 1) instead of just giving names of subway stations because Paris has many many subway lines. Also, indicate which exits to take when exiting subway stations.
And also, on your section maps please list all the street names. I know the space is small and you can't print all the names but that would greatly help us.
Other then these couple of things, the book is a must have when traveling in Paris.

This is a very good book! It's really big and long, so it's very detailed, but it has everything you'll need to know about Pairs in it.

• Paris 2008 23 April, 2008
I bought both Paris and London 2008 books for my upcoming trip to Europe, and I enjoy both. The guides are easy to read, tell you how to make the most of your time at various locations, tell you how to get to where you want to go and provide a variety of eating and shopping locations for all budgets.

I used this book on my first trip to Paris,and it was a valuable resource to pick how to spend our time. The maps were also very helpful in getting around the maze that is the Paris streets.
