This review is from: Paris (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)
This book is small but don't let it make you think it isn't complete! Full of up to date places to see and eat, helpful tips ect... and what I love most about it is that it is small enough to slip into a purse or back pocket. Entirely handy and a must have for taking along while you are sight seeing beacuse of its portable size! The last thing you want is to lug a huge book around while you are enjoing the City of Lights!Useful, practical and very easy to use. Flip out maps of Paris on the front and back covers and a small usefull French expression list of the most practical and useful words. Oh, and you can't beat the price!
