Travelers will behold all this cosmopolitan destination contains in the sleek and innovative Moon Metro Paris. This hip guide profiles the best of the city, combining selective listings of the hottest sights, shops, restaurants, amusements, and hotels with discreet, laminated, fold-out maps detailing the must-see neighborhoods. Moon's uncluttered layout is a must for the various facets of the streets of Paris. Dine on the Left Bank, climb up the Eiffel Tower, watch the sunset from outside the Sacre-Coeur, and see the sights such as the Arc de Triomphe, Musee D'Orsay, Louvre, and Notre-Dame. This guide leads you to the city's top sights as well as the places only the locals know about. Clean, concise, and compact, Moon Metro Paris is the definitive guide to a city where chic neighborhoods cavort with bawdy boutiques, royal promenades collide with frenzied shopping streets, and people of all types create constant foot traffic to a rhythm of city life that tugs at the heart.
The best thing about this series of guides are the foldout maps. Not designed for the armchair traveler, Moon Metro guides are practical and at least a good place to start. The listings are brief and there is very little text, but the guides are suitable to be used on site.

I bought this metro guide as suggestion of my travel agent when I was going on vacation to Paris. It was outstanding as both a walking map and a subway and R/R map. We easily found our way around with it. Sturdily built, and of the size it fit in my pocket easily. Great buy

this handy guide is also great (see streetwise maps for maps). Be sure to review them before you leave to be sure they cover the area you will be in because they are mostly "on the beaten path" items. I suggest also doing research on Frommers.com to be sure you dont miss something not covered in these books. These books are compact and easy to carry while traveling in city. Did not use for the resturaunts that is something that you need to find by exploring or research blogs but these hit the major sites in easy to read categories with simple maps. I would buy these for all my city travels.

I friggin' LOVE this little book! I used the maps constantly while in Paris, and I plan to take it back there one day. For now, I need to pick up one for Barcelona!
Perfect Paris Guide

After having wonderful luck with the New York Moon Metro last year, we bough the Paris guide for our trip this year. These guides do a fabulous job of breaking down the city by neighborhoods and providing detailed street and metro maps. MM also gives astute historical summaries of these neighborhoods, so you know what to look for and what to expect. The books are small and fit in purses and jackets and have excellent recomendations for shops, restaurants and sights off the beaten tourist tracks. I have already purchased the Barcelona and Amsterdam guides and I haven't even planned trips there yet! I know they will be an invaluable reference when the time comes. I highly recommend Moon Metro.
