User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Paris Mapguide is a "must have!"
I have three Paris Mapguides. One at home(for planning purposes), one in my car(for checking when I listen to books on CDs) and the dog-eared one I use when I am in Paris. The best thing about the Mapguide is that all the streets with bus lines are plainly shown in a light gray, with the numbers of the lines. Of Course the Metro stations and RER stations are also marked. All the art museums, monuments, public buildings, churches, etc are plainly labeled--even hotel are indicated.

With all this information, the Mapguide is still a slim little book that fits into purse or pocket--far superior to a fold-out map, with tiny printing--one that gets caught in the wind when you try to read it.

I take the latest (3rd) Edition to use for planning in my hotel room, and my l994 Edition (that has all my many notes and addresses scribbled in the margins) with me when I'm out and about.

The Mapguide also includes maps of parc de Versailles, Vincennes,and Boulogne-Billancourt, index of street names, lists of places of interest, museums,etc. and an easy-to-read Metro map.

Don't go to Paris without it!



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Mapguide Perfection
Having travelled some what, I feel qualified to fairly assess 'The Paris Mapguide'. There are many guides of Paris on store bookshelves far more illistrated and far more detailed but they do not address the basic needs of a traveller standing on a Paris street. This publication meets all requirements, it is the right size,street maps and the 'Metro'are percise and very easy to read and the supporting information, be it city history,districts,places of interest etc, are all there.
'The Paris Mapguide' will facilitate an enjoyable visit to this beautiful city.




User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - A Must Have on Your Trip to Paris!
My family and I just came back from a week in Paris and wouldn't you know that we were there during the transportation strike and WALKED everywhere that we went. You can imagine my glee that I had this nifty little street map guide book to lead the way for us. We never got lost once with it and it is small and compact and fit into my pocketbook quite nicely. The streets and landmarks were clearly marked and easy to read. Also, at the beginning of the book, gives a list of the different sites, addresses and opening/closing times. We never could have done what we did if it wasn't for this little gem. Whenever we travel to another city again, the first thing that I will do is buy another for the city that I am going to.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Great Map!
What can I say that everyone hasn't already said. I am so happy that I purchased this map. I have 3 other maps of Paris, but none are as good as this one. I really like the way it is laid out. This would be the map that I would recommend to my friends.



User Review: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Guide
We went all over Paris using this mapguide. It was the best map for a large city that I ever used. It was our first ime to Paris and I was very comfortable getting around. I would highly recommend the Paris mapguide. We also used the London mapguide also and were just as pleased.
