Informative! (0/0 people found this helpful)
I bought this book just before visiting Paris in April. It was very informative, containing just the right amount of information. It is a great size as it is light enough and small enough so you don't mind carrying it around with you (some of guides I have bought in the past have been so heavy!) My group stuck to the top ten things to see as we were only there for a couple of days. It was ideal! It has a few maps and underground map too which were very helpful.
Very Useful (2/2 people found this helpful)
This guidebook is ideal if you are just going to Paris for a couple of days. There is plenty of information about numerous attractions. We actually found our hotel in this book and it was as good if not better than described. A must have!
Indispensable!! (37/38 people found this helpful)
Absolutely brilliant little book. We've just spent 5 days in Paris and this book was totally indispensable. It has detailed chapters on each part of the city, along with lists of essential places to visit, eat, shop etc, and also includes detailed maps to help get you about. This book is small enough to carry around with you all the time, and proved so invaluable that I've just bought the Top Ten guide to Venice by the same people, in anticipation of our next trip! I reccommend this book 100% to anyone planning on visiting Paris.
Best for a short trip (2/2 people found this helpful)
Like all other books in the DK series, this guide is well-illustrated. Who has time to read pages and pages of opinions about Parisians and history, when you're in a city to have fun for only a short break?
This book is ideally-suited for just those people. Those nipping in and out within 3-4 days. The Top 10 restaurants, tourist attractions, places to live, etc are outlined clearly. The book still manages to be rich enough in detail to find out which cafes Picasso and Dali hung out in, where Sartre lived, what's special about the engineering behind the Eiffel Tower, etc. It could've been a bit more informative on travelling within Paris (e.g. L'Open Tour bus, the Metro, etc.). But I guess the publishers want to keep it thin. All in all a good guide.
No one does it like DK (2/2 people found this helpful)
I never travel without either the full DK travel book or their Top Ten because no one does it better. Although I was in Paris alone I felt more informed than locals due to this book. Astounding tips, photos, and descriptions. The Top Ten will help you whittle down the many sights to fit the length of your trip but I suggest buying the full travel guide to France as a companion. It will inspire loads of future trips throughout the country.
