5.0 out of 5 stars Your Primary Guide to Paris, December 28, 2001

Assuming you aren't a Paris expert, then you do need a guide to give you some orientation and also to suggest lodging, etc. Fodor's has published a sufficiently wide-ranging guide that you could make do with it alone. So, if you can only take one guide, buy and take this one. Also, it's lightweight and well sized for travel.

Since I had never been to Paris, I bought a number of books besides this one. Thank God! Not only did the room description in the book not resemble the room I was in, but the directions to the hotel were messed up. The closest subway station to the hotel (as per the instructions) was on a different subway line in a different neighborhood than the real station - which by the way -was a rail road station. I have no idea where they dug up the hotel from, because no-one around it even knew the street name. I would not be surprised if the Eifel Tower directions send you Versaille. Luckily - I did not have to find out.
