4.0 out of 5 stars Great Map!, September 17, 2009

This review is from: Paris Destination City Map (Map)

I searched for a long time to find a large scale map of Paris, and this was the best one out there. Further, it comes in a manageable size on treated paper that seems very durable. This map should meet the needs of most tourists in Paris, though the outer arrondisements and part of the 6e (Montparnasse) are not covered. Some of the small streets and passages are not marked, so if you are using, for example, Frommer's Memorable Walks in Paris,you will not be able to follow some of the routes in detail on the map. (Online Google maps can fill in the details.) The rear side of the map includes maps of the Metro and the airports, which are quite useful. I could have done without the pretty pictures,the tourist information and the regional map, and wish that the space had been used to enlarge the painfully small print of the street index and to add a map of the RER. And does anyone really need a list of "Top Attractions" available in any guide book? Despite these shortcomings, this is a great map.

It was a decent map that had all the central parts of Paris but it didn't have the outer ring of arrondisements that I needed. I ended up returning it and getting a different one that included more of the city.
