Review: Paris for Dummies

User Review  - Kiri - Goodreads

Excellent primer on Paris! The section on neighborhoods was particularly interesting to me, and helped me understand it better than my desultory web searches have. Loads of great info!

Review: Paris for Dummies

User Review  - Tamara - Goodreads

The painstakingly detailed advice on how to navigate the subway system was definitely written for directionally challenged travelers like myself. Other simple yet essential advice made this worth the read.
