Looking for a contrast to that old standby, Michelin's Green Guide to Paris? Designed to catch the eye of those raised on TV and the Internet, this book uses bold colors and graphics to convey standard information. But don't be deceived by the layout; the guide is replete with useful facts on sights, transportation, lodging, food, and more. The entertainment section reflects current tastes (reggae, live jazz, blues) as well as standard tourist fare (stage, theater, opera, film). Particularly appealing are descriptions of the different Parisian neighborhoods contrasting the Islands, the Latin Quarter, the Left Bank, and the Right Bank, among others. The end maps will assist both new and experienced visitors to Paris, although one of the city maps will require a microscope to see the detail. The five detailed indexes cover books, maps, streets, places of interest, and Metro stations. This refreshing and entertaining guide is recommended for all travel collections.DOlga B.
