Rick Steves Pocket Paris

I have bought several of these for friends who are travelling to Paris. Like the pocket size map and short descriptions of key areas. I find phone navigation very tricky in Paris cuz the streets are rarely at right angles..fun for wandering though!

I love Rick Steves pocket books. They are compact to carry, comprehensive in coverage and have the sturdy laminated fold up map that REALLY comes in handy.

We are going to Europe soon for the first time. I have watched Rick Steves shows on Youtube and PBS and thought he knows what he is talking about. Here are my Thought's 1. The book is small and easily fits in your pocket. 2. It tells you places to see in the country specific book. 3. Tells you methods of travel to get there 4. Mentions Places to eat 5. Includes a map of the area 6. How to pay for things ETC I could go on and on. It has so much great information. For me the book is great and after reading it prior to our trip, I feel I am prepared for my visit. If you decide to buy Rick Steves pocket travel books, you won't be disappointed

Looked over book prior to my trip and gave me ideas what to hit during my trip. Useful tips included in Book and tear out map and common French phrases that are good to know and carry with you. It’s small and compact to throw in your bag. Honestly I really did not use on trip just prior to.

This book looks to be a very good guide.

This pocket handbook saved our Paris trip. We got to Paris and our hotel had a broken elevator. We were on the fifth floor so we pulled out this pocket Rick Steves handbook and found a recommended hotel. There was a room available and we were able to enjoy our time in Paris. The hotel and concierge were amazing.

This book is a good size and easy to take with you when traveling and has a ton of great information in it. Even though I’ve been to Paris before this book was still very helpful and I used it quite a bit.

This new Rick Steves guide to Paris is your portable guide to the City of Lights. Paris is the home of centuries of French culture, history, and cuisine. It features the Eifel Tower, a Notre Dame currently under repair, and grand palaces like Versailles. Explore at your own pace and pick your points of interest. This guide has lots of useful information on when and where to go, what to see, and where to eat and sleep. The narrative includes a nice selection of color photographs, along with maps and diagrams. As with other Rick Steves guides, read the whole book and digest it before doing your own planning. There really is a lot to see and experience in Paris. Unless you are planning to move in, you'll need to pick and choose. Enjoy the menu and the trip. Very well recommended.

Looks great but need to confirm this summer!

This book fits easily into a trouser pocket and so is a nice companion for those who (like me) prefer their city guides to be in old-fashioned paper form. The coverage is not as wide-ranging as, say, the DK Top 10 guide, preferring to focus on a few key experiences rather than trying to do too much in the space available. These (Louvre, Notre Dame, Orsay, and a selection of suggested city walks) are presented in a very practical and down to earth way. The book was very handy for my February 2025 visit to the City of Light. I still think that MIchael Middleditch's Paris Mapguide is by far the best pocket guide to the city (the maps are amazing) but unfortunately the 8th edition was the last, as the author died in December 2012. This Rick Steves book is cordially recommended.

Perfect guidebook from reliable Rick, and comes with a great map. Super helpful for planning Paris trips!

I recommend it
