The painstakingly detailed advice on how to navigate the subway system was definitely written for directionally challenged travelers like myself.

Other simple yet essential advice made this worth the read.

This one wasn't quite as helpful as the London book, but was still head-and-shoulders above the other Paris travel books I picked up. An excellent resource.

[Jordan]

This had lots of good tid bits. Since I'm going with an organized group, I skipped all the tips on airlines, hotels, etc. But everything else is really cool stuff.

If you could only read one book about traveling to Paris, you should read Rick Steve's book. This book is interesting and fun, though.

Excellent primer on Paris! The section on neighborhoods was particularly interesting to me, and helped me understand it better than my desultory web searches have. Loads of great info!

[Frances]

Written in the familiar 'for Dummies' style, easy to read but very much slanted towards American travellers.
