Badly organized,

This review is from: Urban Crayon Paris: The City Guide for Parents with Children (Paperback)
This book is not organized in any logical manner. There is a section of activities and attractions for girls, some for boys, and some for both genders. This made absolutely no sense to me. I much preferred Cadogan's Take the Kids guide to Paris, which was much more detailed and thorough, and organized by geographic area of the city instead. That is a guidebook you can take with you on a trip; not this one.

Hated the way it was organized, and couldn't quickly reference things. Not helpful. Ended up tossing it.

This review is from: Urban Crayon Paris: The City Guide for Parents with Children (Paperback)
We were definitely able to enjoy Paris with our 4 yr old daughter thanks to this guide. I agree with the other reviewer that you're able to see a different side of Paris with your children. This is certainly a good summary guide of places to go with the kids. We saw the marionette show at Champs Elysees & loved Guinol :-) We also found many playgrounds, carousels, and great restaurant recommendations from this book. Its portable and our trip wouldn't have been as fun without it!
