A beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies and Lonely Planet was born. One hundred million guidebooks later, Lonely Planet is the world’s leading travel guide publisher with content to almost every destination on the planet.

Digging into this guide, I noticed that they have a calendar of events at the beginning of the book, outlining by month the activities that were planned to take place in the French capital throughout 2020. Skimming over it was a bit of a gut punch - so many hopes and dreams that did not come to fruition. (On that note, I wonder if there were any travel guides at all published for 2021?)
That devastating tidbit aside, this is a formidable guide. Not as in-depth as the excellent Frommer's, but holds its own over lackluster contenders like DK Eyewitness. It seems to do a good job at including locations and events more off the beaten path, along the usual suspects, yet doesn't dive too deeply to overwhelm the more casual traveler. I'd recommend Lonely Planet to the middle-of-the-road traveler - when you want to know just enough.

Llevo viviendo casi 6 años en París y puedo decir que la guía es bastante práctica y la recomendaría para quién esté de turismo en la ciudad. Cumple su función.
Está organizada por zonas y también por categorías (alojamiento, comida...). Los itinerarios por zonas son muy útiles.
Actualizaría los eventos por mes con las fechas correctas de 2023 y voilà!

Very useful for my trip to Paris for my 21st Birthday!!
Did miss out the fact that the tickets you buy (t+) must not be kept with credit cards or phones as they are demagnetised. But otherwise really useful and lots of good recommendations!!
