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!

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.

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.

I have used the Michelin green guides for years and am now in the travel business, specifically doing business in France. I find this current edition a bit lacking, though it is generally a good guide. Unfortunately, there seems to be a “dumbing-down” of the guides in English (are we Americans not sophisticated travelers?); the same guide written is French is much more complete and detailed; I would opt for it if you read French…if not, for a more detailed cultural guide try Blue Guide Paris

Recommended by my French professor, I leaned heavily upon the expertise of the Michelin Green Guide during my first trip to Paris. The guide proved its worth over and over again. Despite the abundance of tourist guides for Europe and the vast expanse known as the Internet, this particular guide deserves a special place in your travel bag because:
It is thorough. Every detail you wanted to know – and some you could not imagine – can be found in this Guide. Architecture? History? The nearest bus stop? It’s all there. Unlike most tourist books, the Green Guide covers ALL OF PARIS. You will find every big and little neighborhood arranged in alphabetical order.
It provides decent walking tours, and not just for touristy neighborhoods, either. These are essential for the renegade explorer who craves something other than a cookie-cutter experience abroad.
Maps maps maps! Maps of the gardens of Versailles, map of the Métro, maps of the cemeteries… The floor plans of museums (Le Grand Louvre, Musée d’Orsay, etc.) help as well.
One of my favorite parts of the book is the front flap. It contains a list of unusual métro stations – a list that becomes enormously valuable when the weather doesn’t allow traditional sight-seeing. If for no other reason, choose this guide for the flap: it starts out strong, and only illuminates your mind from there.
