Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - What happened to the lonely planet? Are they not investing in their travel writers or just reprinting things?????
Just wanted to comment on the crappy the lonely planet tour guide for Paris. I found this particular edition exceedingly difficult to navigate and to contain several aweful suggestions, especially the restaurants. The guide doesn't flow well, and one quickly finds themselves turning pages endlessly trying to coordinate location with destination. I have always been a devout lonely planet traveler but now it looks like something has changed and overall it seems to me that the writers have not traveled ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Pocket-Sized Travel Book Around!
The Lonely Planet Encounter series of travel books is my favorite, and the Paris edition is no exception. It's THE book to have if you plan on being in Paris for a few days and need the best highlights of the City of Lights.

It's broken up into easy-to-understand sections, based on the most popular Paris neighborhoods. The easy-to-read maps are also wonderful, as they show the best in restaurants, museums, shops and more, and clearly ID Metro stops that make getting around Paris a breeze. ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Just OK
I had to reference other books- Lonely Planet France had more to add- and funny how the two books have different opinions on some things (like which store has better chocolate?) And don't plan to use the map on this one- its miniscule. The only advantage is- its small and easy to lug around versus other travel books.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Guide!!
A friend and I visited Paris for the first time together and Lonely Planet made it so easy! The book is organized very well and most of our itinerary we took straight out of the book. It also has great maps that made it easy to navigate the city (with the heart of Paris being able to be discovered on foot). I also bought the Lonely Planet China and have so fat found it incredibly useful. LONELY PLANET ROCKS!
