Though I've only traveled to Paris once, my map has guided family and friends through Paris three times without me. The map pictured in the current listing looks a bit different than the traditional green covered Lonely Planet city map series (which is the version I bought a few years ago), but I imagine that if anything that the new version is better.

This was my first European laminated city map, and I (a non-French speaker) was able to navigate around Paris (both on foot and the metro) with complete ease! While in Paris I was staying in Montmartre (near the Basilique du Sacre C'ur) and was happy that in addition to the area around the Seine (where most tourists visit and should), that the city map had detailed blow-up views.

My family and friends also found the map very useful. It is light weight, durable, and water proof - all important considerations when traveling in Europe. Furthermore, the map is useful in retracking your footsteps after your trip. With many small monuments and street names, in addition to all the major attractions, years later I can still trace out my stay in Paris.
