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 to the places using their guides or at least considered following their guides, i.e. they have not thought about walking a mile in our shoes. I would suggest going it alone over going with Lonely planet. However, you judge, give it a try, see how crappy the Lonely Planet Paris guide really is, support what appears to be corporate greed and a lack of investing in fact finding when it comes to travel guides.

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.
Finally, it's the perfect size--it easily fits into a cargo pocket or back pocket of a pair of jeans...no bulky book here.
I only wish Lonely Planet would publish more cities in this format, especially Rome. But if Paris is on your agenda, you must buy this book!

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.

A friend and I visited Paris for the very 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!
