Book Reviews of Paris (Lonely Planet Paris)
Book Review: Vivre le Lonely Planet en Paris!
Summary: 5 Stars
After many a trip to Paris, Lonely Planet still stands out as the guidebook of guidebooks. This edition has great restaurant reviews, as is common with LP guides. We have never been steered wrong unless it was to a place that had gone out of business and therefore was no longer open. To avoid this, you can always call ahead of time if you are really concerned.
What I always like about LP is the background info they give on the city, plus they recommend books, music and movies to get you in the mood for your travels. The hotel info is good, though their prices are not always totally accurate (understandable, hotels change their rates yearly and therefore may not always be updated in real time). What is accurate is the ranges they give Budget, Mid-Range, High-End.
They also have top 5 restaurants, top 5 sites, depending on the arrondissement you are in. This is great because if you are on the go, it saves you the trouble of reading each restaurant review, or each museum/site description.
You will probably want to buy a map to accompany you, as the ones in the back of the book are adequate, but could be better. We have traveled with Rough Guide maps, very convenient and weather safe with relatively large print. LP makes maps too, but I prefer the RG's.
If you are lucky enough to go to Paris, this is a great guide to have in your bag. It is also a great pre-trip guide and reading the background or getting some of they books they recommend before you step on the plane can only enhance your experience. I would recommend A MOVEABLE FEAST by Ernest Hemingway, a fantastic book about his days in Paris in the 20's.
