Book Reviews of Rick Steves' Paris 2007

Book Review: Great!! but with some draw backs
Summary: 4 Stars

I found this book very easy to read and interesting - and helpful when traveling, with a few caveats. The walking tours look great, although we didn't do any. The book is well organized and with an index you can't go wrong.

I found it the most useful when wanting to know how to do something... for example: what RER stations you can buy tickets to Versailles at, what are they called so you can ask for the right thing, and what kind of tickets to buy to save time and money. He also gives great recommendations on what to see when so you can avoid crowds or closings, etc.

What I found most disappointing was the restaurant recommendation section. We brought the book out with us one day, and without looking ahead of time, we thought we would be able to select a restaurant in the area we were in from the book. The area we were in that particular evening had only 3 recommendations: one very upscale and pricey, one sandwich shop and one cafe. We just wanted a nice, quaint restaurant to have dinner. No luck... we did however find the most perfect place on our own... sorry I don't remember the name!

So I would recommend this book for ease of getting around, insider tips on where to go when and walking tours. Just get another book on where to go to eat!
