Pre-trip planning or armchair traveling,
By
This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Paris, 2d Ed. (Paperback)
An excellent book for pre trip planning or leaving in the hotel room to check out the next days sights or review what was seen that day. Great photos, good detailed explanations of major sights. Unlike a Knopf book there is not a lot of pages dedicated to history or architecture or plants and animals. For the major sights like the Louvre the book will walk you through (11 pages devoted to the Louvre). Not strong on shopping or nightlife or less well known sights, the maps to the front of each geographic section are an overview but not great for street by street navigating.
An excellent book, good reading, great photos, not the book to take into the streets, but a definite book to have if you are going. Also great for an armchair traveller.

Great, comprehensive guide to Paris,
By
This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Paris, 2d Ed. (Paperback)
I thought this was a very useful guide to start with. It covers everything from history and culture to how to get around Paris and of course what to do and see as well as where to eat, etc. The pictures are absolutely lovely, and the Paris metro guide in the back comes in handy. The maps could be more detailed, though. For those who can manage French, I would suggest buying an actual guide in French like Le Guide du Routard. No pictures there, but a lot more information.

This review is from: National Geographic Traveler: Paris, 2d Ed. (Paperback)
This guide provides a systematic easy to use guide tour of Paris. Following its suggestions, I hand a wounderful experience as a first time visitor. I found it easy to use, provided interesting information and excellent walk suggestions. I did not use it for information about restaurants, hotels or entertainment.
