 Rating: - Paris in a pocket bookThis little book got my four sisters and I around Paris in 4 days and nights. It was a lifesaver. We were especially thrilled with the the metro map inside. That came in extremely handy. It's a great resource that fits into a small bag. All of their tips and suggestions were right on the money. Glad I had this! Rating: - loved the map!We would have bought this book just for the map, it was so worth it! We had other bigger books with more detailed info, but we took this book everywhere with us because who wants to carry a travel guide around Paris?! We loved the map and used it so often the pages almost started to rip. Just one word of caution, watch the map scale as things in Paris are farther apart than they seem. But this book is a definate must have for any traveller who doesn't want to look like a complete tourist. I'm looking into getting more of them for our next trip! Rating: - IndespensibleI rarely review anything, but i feel so strongly about this that i would recommend it to anyone. This little book practically made my trip to Paris.

Also, there is a new version of this book out that corrected the little problems i had with the last one. The fold out maps that make this book work were kinda ...

This little book is a JEM! It is small enough to fit in an inside coat pocket and keeps you from looking like a total tourist dragging around a large travel book everywhere you go. This book has it all-two fold out maps that detail the city center that we used extensively. The maps are small, and pop out and then neatly fold back. Inside the spine of the book is a small pen that slides out, so you can take notes as you go along-the note section could have had a few more pages, but this is such a small thing, it almost isn't worth mentioning. The book itself includes sections on what to ... Read More: |
