highly recommended

wonderful guide for first-timers

we bought rick steves' rome and florence books for our italy trip last summer and thought they were wonderful guides, so we didn't hesitate to get this one before we went to paris. the book is very informative and it gives you a lot of tips on how to get the most out of your trip. i enjoy his recommended walks very much. especially the walks that take you into the daily lives of the locals. afterall, part of the traveling experience is to learn how people of other cultures live. of course, you won't miss any of the major sights either. rick steves usually mixes in a must-see sight w/ other more relaxed, local-feel activity, so that you don't feel like you're just a tourist, get in, take photos, and get out. overall, i enjoy his books. i think it's perfect for a first time visitor, but if you're a seasoned traveler, this book may not be what you're looking for.

Excellent guide. Read BEFORE the trip!

I've been a long time fan of Rick Steve's but this is the first time I've based a trip solely on his books. We stayed in Paris for one week and would've run out of places to visit if it weren't for this book. This was my second time visiting Paris and like always, the big name places are awesome but the lesser known corners described in this book made the trip complete. Read the book thoroughly and read it in advance. Also, don't forget to check out the discussion forums on Rick Steve's website and download museum audio tours for your iPODs.

Clear and Complete

A very extensive guidebook to Paris including the major sights, suggested walking tours through the main neighborhoods, reviews of numerous hotels and restaurants, and numerous hints for managing money, the language, transportation, local customs, and dealing with vicissitudes like the pickpockets on the Paris Metro. Lots of historical references and tips for major artworks worth seeing. All text with a few maps, line illustrations, and a very few photos--you'll want to supplement this with an illustrated guide--but jam-packed with information and helpful details that can make or break a trip.

Paris walks

This book was very helpful for the walks section. On a repeat trip to Paris recently we had visited most of the obvious tourist sites. The walks section was very handy especially with the little maps which were easier to read than the street one we had. We felt we had covered the areas thoroughly and did not get too lost in the winding streets. The book was well organized, locating information easy with the clear index.

big book, alot of into

I thought all the info was great, but wish that there was a shorter version (booklet style) that you could bring with you instead of such a heavy book when you're being a tourist and trying to travel light.
