4.0 out of 5 stars No surprises, but a useful reference, October 28, 2009

This review is from: Fodor's Paris 2010 (Full-color Travel Guide) (Paperback)
If you're considering this book, I assume you're going to Paris and want a multipurpose guidebook in English with annual editions. You would probably also consider Rick Steves, Frommer's Paris and
Michelin Green. My short recommendation among these is Fodor's is best for an American inexperienced international traveler, Steves for an experienced traveler with little knowledge of Paris, Frommer's for a business traveler or someone anticipating a short residence in the city (such as a student) and Michelin for the experienced Parisian...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent advice, just like an old friend would give you, October 18, 2010

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
A dear old friend presents Paris, tour the city with Fodor's. The advice in this book is rock solid, following a recommendation will likely turn out well.

I love Paris and France. I lived in a suburb of Paris for almost two years. I have visited the city many times, most recently the summer of 2009. I drive in Paris (something no American should try on their own). My first visit to the city was accompanied by a very old copy of Fodor's guide to Paris. How in the world do I critically review an old friend? It was difficult.

Sadly, I write this review well past the tourist season of 2010. This book might be on sale and would be an excellent find at a reduced price. Not much changes in one year for this beautiful city, so a 2010 guidebook for a 2011 trip would be relevant. For the really adventurous traveler, Paris in the winter is still a beautiful city - rainy and cool, but free of any tourists and home of some great deals.

How to choose between...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Focused, on-point writing. Color photos on every other page., June 9, 2010

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
FODOR'S PARIS 2010 is a 488 page guidebook on the sights, shopping, restaurants, and hotels in Paris. Tads of history are provided here and there, and for every section doting on a museum, famous monument, or famous garden, there is a small map, as well as blurbs on nearby cafes. At the back of the book, attached via perforations, is a 12 inch X 20 inch map of downtown Paris, showing roughly a 20 square mile area. One can see from the map that the street layout in Paris is a confusing mess. In America, most city blocks are rectangles, where the rectangles are the same size, and where the streets go north-to-south or east-to-west. But in Paris, many of the city blocks are triangles. And while many city blocks are rectangles, not one of the rectangles has the same dimension as another. Hence, this map will be essential to any traveler.

Now I know why the Germans lost WWI and WWII. It was not because of the superior tactical and technical advantages of the Allies...Read more
