This guide is superbly organized for quick reference so you can "get an immediate handle on everything you need to know and everywhere you want to go in Paris." All sections have color-coded tabs, so you can flip to the list of Paris's top 25 sights--or to the time line to figure out how the monument in front of you fits into history--in seconds flat. The "Where to Eat" section is subdivided into the following: expensive restaurants, regional French restaurants, Asian & Italian restaurants, Arab restaurants, and brasseries & bistros. These make the search for the perfect meal much easier than trying to wade through the unsorted listings in one of the bigger guides on an empty belly. Citypack Paris is filled with great information and is meant to be carried with you and used around town. This ultrathin guide comes with a large, detailed map of the city, and both will fit nicely in a purse or jacket pocket. First-time pilgrims may want to bone up with one of the meatier guides to learn more about the city before leaving home. --Jhana Bach
