Reviews for Lonely Planet Pocket Paris

[amateurmechanic · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Excellent guidebook to Paris. Lonely Planet travel guidebooks are the best out there. Very detailed information on the basics such as immigration, getting around, costs, and currency are followed by sharp and current information on hotels, dining, cultural and commercial attractions, recreation, and shopping.
