Paris demands some preparation, and the Rough Guide, honed over nearly two decades, does the job like no other guidebook. Adam Stanhope (reader), Snipe Harbour, MA USA: "This is the best guidebook for Paris for people who want hotel and restaurant recommendations and are interested in background history. This book (and previous editions) have been my companions during several Paris trips over the past thirteen years. It introduced me to my favorite Paris restaurant, a place to which we return every time we are in town." Business Traveller. "All the help and advice you'll need."
