This review is from: Time Out Paris 9 (Time Out Paris, 9th ed) (Paperback)

I went to Paris with the 10th Edition rather than the 9th; but unfortunately I cannot write a review there as Amazon still says the book is not yet published. Very quickly I have now used 2 books by Timeout, and this book was far more useful than the one that I used for Florence. Overall I think that Timeout books are well organized, have great pictures, and I esp. like the little areas where they have the "Best of." The difference b/w this book and the one I took to Florence became very apparent as soon as I started pounding the pavement in Paris. The only negatives I would have to say are that the maps are a little difficult to use with the different Arrondisements spread out over diff pages; Timeout publishes a magazine like free city guide that I grabbed while in Paris, and this gave me a nice sized map that I could refer to without constant page flipping. I would also agree with the other reviewer in that the authors did not give a great explanation of the metro system in conjunction with the several transport maps they gave in the back, but it is very easy to use once you get there and do some prac app. Other than those two things, it's a good book; I did not award 5 stars cuz I feel a top rating would mean that the user/book owner did not have to rely on another source.

I highly recommend the macaroons @ Laduree, going to the Eiffel Tower past 9pm(it is open until 11) and the patisserie Au Levain du Marais.

This review is from: Time Out Paris 9 (Time Out Paris, 9th ed) (Paperback)

I recently purchased this book [3/1/2002] and took it with me to Paris to look for nightclubs and other interesting sights. The book did a good job of pointing me to some of the better sights in Paris. Paris has to be seen to believed. I would also recommend getting additional books which focus more on using the metro to get around the city and books on the landmarks and museums. The metro is the key to Paris. It will take you almost anywhere you want to go...
