4.0 out of 5 stars Laminated Map of Paris, March 30, 2000

By	l pollock (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

Very handy map of Paris. It has a overview of the city to the peripherique, then it has a large detailed section on the central districts and another section on monmartre and a metro map. The central district map shows the metro stations, museums,parks, one-way streets, pedestrian streets, churches etc. This is a laminated map so it folds out and folds back in a snap and you can write and erase on it with one of those erasable marker pens. It measures about 27" wide by 10" tall and is printed on both sides *Note: It shows pretty much every tiny street but not all the small streets are named. You'd need a separate street atlas if you needed to be able to look up any address in the city.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mapping out a reaction ... What a letdown., August 19, 2003

By	Alekos (Cancun, Quintana Roo Mexico) - See all my reviews

The fact that over the years I have used Lonely Planet publications with entire satisfaction and sometimes delight, merely increases my disappointment with this piece of cartographic mediocrity. From every conceivable point of view, it is awful. Any Paris department store gives out better tourist maps ... free.

5.0 out of 5 stars My Map Has Been to Paris 4 Times, July 5, 2005

By	M. Mierzwa (Davis, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Paris City Map (Map)

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.
