This review is from: Frommer's Paris from $80 a Day 2000: The Ultimate Guide to Comfortable Low-Cost Travel (Frommer's $ A Day) (Paperback)

My family used this guide in Paris recently and found most of the locations for restaurants and to be at least five years old - especially the budget ones. On a number to occasions, we located the street address only to be told by the new owners that the restaurant has not been in existence for a number of years. It remains amazing to us that Frommer a very well know guide publisher in the West and Paris being an important distination, would not keep this volune up-to-date. We ended up wasted a lot of time literary searching deadends, before disposing of this book and taking the kids to the nearest McDonald for lunch instead. I suggest looking at Foder guides instead, they are several notches above.

My husband and I were in Paris in April 2000 and this book was all we needed. We found a very cheap hotel ($ 40.00 for 2 people), booked it before we left and found everything as described in the travel guide. We had no problems finding the restaurants we wanted to go to. Overall, a great guide for people who want to travel cheap, but nice. And--we found it to be up to date. If you go to Paris, don't miss the catacombes!
