Book Reviews of Rick Steves' France 2008

Book Review: If you are going to Paris, don't depend on this book
Summary: 1 Stars

I like Rick Steves. Really I do. I listen to his podcast most every week.

But if you use this book, and after you have gone down the wrong roads, turns etc., you begin to wonder, has the man ever been to Paris?

The book is full of bad diagrams, completely wrong advice, or things that just do not exist.

For example, one of his suggested day trips is to Monet's home. Sounds easy to get a train there according to his book. WRONG. That screw up in his cost me a $150 train ticket, and sent me out to no where. The train does not stop in Monet's village, but continues on to Bourn. Jeeps, we were on that train for 3 hours, and 3 hours back. What a waste and money.

Pick up several guides. Leave this one at home.
