Customer Reviews

Don't go without it.
It has been too long since I have visited Paris, so felt an investment in this book a good move. This guide will more than pay for itself in tips and must sees that I would have missed. The neighborhood maps are wonderful, the walking tours invaluable. Recommendations on what to do including hours and days of operations of major attractions imperative in planning your perfect visit to this beautiful city! Love this guide. Thank you Michelin!

Walking Through Paris with Michelin

There must be hundreds of Paris guides but I chose this one for its comprehensive coverage of museums and monuments. It is organised by district and is great for just walking around the city with its easy-to-follow maps. I especially like the "don't miss" feature to keep you from wandering through a museum and accidently walking past what it is famous for. It also has good material on history and art and architecture at the front of the book. My only quibble is that the Michelin format is too tall to zip comfortably into my pocketbook.

Michelin loses its star rating
We have always been fans of the Michelin Green Guides, thinking they are very thorough and the best to use for every city. So we bought the most recent one for Paris and were very disappointed on our recent trip. The index seems to be the big culprit. It is very hard to use and doesn't contain a lot of the individual entries or sites later discussed in the book. The book is organized by segments of the city, so it's very hard to find a specific museum, building, etc. if you don't know in which section it is.
