Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness city guides bill themselves as "the guides that show you what others only tell you" and indeed, spectacular illustrations are one of their strongest points. Every page of an Eyewitness guide is filled with beautiful color photographs, maps, drawings and diagrams that bring popular tourist destinations to life. Each guide color-codes the city's districts or neighborhoods, making it easy for readers to know at a glance just where they are in the book--and where they want to go. Eyewitness Paris is typical of the series: a brief history of the city is followed by "Paris at a Glance" featuring the best museums, churches and parks; "Paris Through the Year," a description of the seasons; and "A River View of Paris" which takes the reader on a tour along the Seine. After this introductory section, Eyewitness Paris tackles the city of lights district by district, starting with Ile de la Cite and ending with Montmartre. At the back of the book is a lengthy section called "Travelers Needs" which includes extensive information about restaurants, hotels, shopping venues entertainment opportunities and special activities for children. The "Survival Guide" gives practical information about getting into and out of Paris, banking and postal services, safety, transportation, and more.
One of the best things about the Eyewitness series are the guided walks for each city. In Paris you have a choice of five 90-minute walks: around Parc Monceau, along the Canal St.-Martin, around the Ile St-Louis, in Auteuil or in Montmartre--the directions for each are clear, the sites well worth seeing, and each provides you with the best possible way of getting to know the city. Don't be deceived by Eyewitness Paris's picture-heavy format--this little picture book packs a lot of information! Don't leave home without it.

Last time I checked, I did not lug a guide book around a city for its hotel listing. If I want a list of hotels, I will go get one and usually they are all irritating for some reason or another. But generally I know where I am staying before I get there.
I agree with other critics that it would be nicer if Paris is broken up by Arondissment, but at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. What I love about these guides (and I have them for 7 or 8 cities now) is that they are visual. And I am visual. When I have a half a day in a city (which I frequently do in London or Paris for business trips) I can grab the guide and see what is going on in my little corner. I learn quickly what things are nearby or far away. And what I can realistically get to.
But the maps, the sense of spatial distance, the breakdown of what is worth seeing in an area and a bit of history are the best.
So if you need to know how to play with Euros or trains or hotels, nope, this guide isn't going to do it. But if you want to use it as a sightseeing guide and want to know what is where, and the best things to see in whatever area you are in, then this is the book for you. If you already know your way around the basic European systems and want to know what to SEE, then this guide will do it.

Get the Rick Steves' books for Paris and France. The Eyewitness books are pretty. They have shiny paper and color pictures. But they are heavy to lug around, especially if you are on foot (which is the best way to see Paris!). And the recommendations for hotel and accommodations are not for the budget minded, in my opion. A much better travel book is the Rick Steves' Paris 2000. Included in this book are walking tours of the neighborhoods and major museums. In those he gives background and history that you might find from a personal tour guide. Steves also makes recommendations for hotels that are very nice, clean and safe and reasonably priced (with excellent restaurants). I bought the Eyewitness book and left it in a hotel room in Paris because I was so sick of lugging it around and it added nothing to my trip that I didn't get from the Rick Steves book. Have I said enough? Skip Eyewitness unless you have a big budget and like to carry heavy books.

Just got back from Paris (6-11-00). Took two travel books to Paris, this one and the Fodors. Should have left the Fodors at home. This book makes it easy to get around Paris. Great map in the back and easy to use Metro map and explanation on how to use the Metro. It breaks each area of Paris down and gives you historical information on the various buildings you will go to. Must have seen a few dozen people carrying the same book with them.
