Time Out Paris (Time Out Guides)

Excellent! Good tips for travel in Paris. I used it in conjunction with other books while in Paris recently.

This is the guide to go by!

In general, the Time Out guides have been the most useful for us, for almost any city I can think of. This one for Paris is a standout, and even though there doesn't seem to be an update on the 2015 edition that we recently used, it's a winner. T.O. doesn't neglect to include the iconic Parisian sites that all first-time visitors want to see, but it goes way beyond that and takes you to places that make you feel like an insider. It's also pretty strong on food and shopping--with the understanding that these two categories are the ones most subject to change from year to year.I like the organization of the book by Paris districts (arrondissements) and the reasonably detailed instructions on how to use the transport system.I hope that they do update this guide, though it looks like the Internet is killing off this kind of publication. Nevertheless, I go back to a first comment--we used the 2015 guide and found it still valid for almost everything except for current art exhibitions, which have to be checked locally anyway.If you think you'd like this guide, check out Olivier Magny"s books on Paris also ("Stuff Parisians Like").

This Time Out edition was not up to the snuff of its Berlin, LA and NYC siblings. Used during a recent trip to Paris in the off-season, many of the recommended eating, shopping and sightseeing destinations turned out to be well-trod Yank/Brit haunts. The bars rang with twangy hipster teenagers, the flagship stores weren't so unique from those found in any metro galleria mall and the landmarks didn't need any pointers. Paris is an accessible, self-explanatory city with centralized museums, shopping and lodging, a snappy metro and cab system and friendly (YES, I mean that) colorful locals. I'd hoped Time Out Paris would direct readers to those more unique experiences the Lonely Planet gang can't afford and the insider joints the Fodors crowd won't try.

It helped me to understand where I am travelling better! Great condition

Excellent book.
