5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must!
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2002

I just had my first trip to Paris. I bought this book because I like to see a city on foot. I didn't want to be stuck on a bus for hours on end. I had no idea just how great this book was until I used it. There is so much hidden history to Paris that is beyond the normal tourist sites. I saw some spectacular and beautiful places . . . often times with very few other tourists around. That was really cool. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to experience Paris from the ground up. Two bits of advice: Pack some good walking shoes and take a lunch when you go.

4.0 out of 5 stars great walking guide with glitches
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2007

My girlfriend and I did about a third of the walks in this book while visiting Paris at Easter.

Overall, a very good guide that points out both the expected and unexpected sites of interest on the

walk. The maps sometimes have glitches, so on every walk we found ourselves lost at least once.

Some walks were brilliant and informative. Walking Montmartre and the Marais, I learned a lot more about

neighborhoods I'd been in before (previously armed with a Michelin guide). The Latin Quarter walks were

a little less good but still excellent (and in the Latin Quarter, seemed to take us past all the fine bakeries).

Other walks were simply average: the Louvre to Champs Elysee and Ile St Louis. The walks were fine but

nothing in the guide made them feel special. And while I applaud the idea of trying to create a walk

from Trocadero to the Arc de Triomphe, the actual walk was rather boring.

Still, overall, the best walking guide for Paris I've encountered.

Fabulous walks with in-depth historical and architectural detail. Even though I have the 2001 edition, some detail re eating/coffee spots may not be up-to-date and some places may no longer be accessible, e.g. Cour de Rohan, as is the case with the excellent Thirza Vallois' books published in the nineties - the fabulous loos in Pl Madeleine which fortunately I have visited, are now chained and padlocked. But well-worth some in-depth reading.

I have visited Paris often and seen all the main tourist sites. However I love the city and to wander through it. This book enhanced that experience showing me places that I would never have found by myself. I hope to use it for further visits

When you are in Paris on your own, you often need a bit of direction to get away from the run-of-the-mill sites. This book provides you with alternatives to allow you to see a part of Paris that is not on the usual travel itineraries. On my last trip to Paris, I had the opportunity to use three of the walks described in the book. Each was in a new area of Paris that I had never seen before. It was fun discovering the areas. I had the most fun on the "Le Marais" walk. I had always wanted to see this part of Paris and I was able to see it in depth. This book is a tremendous addition to a travel library. If you plan on traveling without a tour guide, this book will be fill in many of the gaps in your experience of Paris and will provide you experiences beyond the norm.

4.0 out of 5 stars pleasant way to amble about the great city

I found this book quite useful. I had it with me on a recent trip to Paris and took three or four of the walks. It's easy to use, accurate, informative and it definitely shows you things you might otherwise miss. On one walk through the Marais, we "discovered" a medieval library I would otherwise just walked straight past.
I suggest taking this book and another one with restaurant and hotel listings. But for people who love Paris and love to walk, this is a good buy. For more on me, and my book  The Nazi Hunter: A Novel go to [...]

4.0 out of 5 stars Very easy to use with tons of information
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 27, 2017

Very well written and lots of imformation on so many streets in Paris that are so small. Beautifull details and the drawings of the maps very easy to follow. The only small thing is that is a little bit outdated but only with regards to a few cafes that are not around anymore. Not imporant detail though because the rest of the info is very useful
