There are more clichés about Paris than there are tourists at the Louvre, but the fact is that underneath each overused hackneyed cliché is a glistening kernel of truth. The City of Light, the City of Love and the City of Romance, familiar platitudes, but once you experience it for yourself you understand why. There is a je ne sais quoi allure to this city that beguiles, but never completely reveals what makes it so universally appealing. Artists, poets, writers, and composers have tried to define exactly what it is about this place, and yet they succeed only to a point. Perhaps it is as elusive as defining love, for to be in Paris entails experiencing love, about someone, something, some place.

There is so much to do - you know the big ones, the Louvre, Musee d’Orsay, Sacre Coeur, St. Germain des Pres, the Left Bank, the Right Bank, the Arc de Triomphe, the Champs Elysées, the Opéra- but don’t miss the fun of discovering the small ones, the ones off the beaten path. Nothing like taking your time strolling thru the turn of the century mansion that houses Musée Marmottan then enjoying a café and patisserie in the museums jewel box café.

Wandering aimlessly is romantic. Getting lost isn’t romantic. In fact there are few things that can drain the romance out of a situation faster than realizing that you’re hopelessly lost. So take your travel map and put it away if you want to wander, but have no fear that your wandering will turn into a lost odyssey. You can always pull out the STREETWISE® Paris Map and get yourself pointed back in the right direction.

Paris is not without faults. Sometimes people can be rude, but that’s the case anywhere in the world - be it a large city or small village. You get what you give. And in the case of Paris, as with any true love, you accept the flaws with the charms, the weaknesses with the strengths. In the end the true beauty of Paris will surpass any blemish. Life from a Parisian perspective is beautiful. But that’s another cliché, isn’t it?

What Customers Say About Streetwise Paris Laminated City Center Street Map:

my map is about 10 years old, has been well used for several trips, and is still is great condition. Most tourist sights & museums are marked, as are Metro lines (color coded).

Despite it only covering themain arrondissements, it is simple to read, has all the Metro lines well marked, & has a street index. I've been to Paris many times and have used this map constantly while there.

For most travelers, however, this is the constant go-to map for getting around almost all parts of all arrondissements. It's durable, and tucks into a purse or bag.

I also have the very large Michelin fold out map of Paris that I used in our apartment for outlying areas and very detailed items, as when I was looking for a particular shop or address on the edges of the city. Of all the folding maps this is the one I rely on time after time.

Highly Recommended.

And frankly, Streetwise had to make a choice, show the entire city and make the folding a nightmare, the map huge, or the scale miniscule - or focus on the key areas. There might be a tiny street here or there not shown, but a one block long street I know well, Rue du Sabot, is shown. And they are sturdy heavy paper stock with good laminated plastic.Paris, tourist season is about to start for 2009. The good of this map - core of the city, the most visited places by most tourists.

Included in that map are Roissy (CDG, the airport), Disneyland, and Versailles. Use a white board marker or a grease pencil to highlight where you are headed and leave the book at the hotel. There is no detail at any of these stops, but the routes are clearly marked to those stops.The not so great - well Sacre Coeur (Montmartre) is not detailed here. There's a pretty good map of Bois de Boulogne.There is also an index of street names with letter / number coordinates. I lived in Paris for 2 years, and this map has the essential streets. This map is really only useful for the walker / metro taker.

Read the book in the hotel the night before. They are a good size for putting in your pocket or in a purse - about the size of a standard business size envelope. There's several arrondisments not included, but honestly there isn't much a tourist would visit in these areas. They fold up easily every time. One panel is a solid metro map, pretty standard map.

Do not ever try to drive in Paris with this map, you will get so lost you'll never find your way out (GPS is the only way to go in that city). Not much really changes in Paris. Major monuments are called out with a 3-D effect drawing of the building. Streetwise maps are the perfect thing for not looking too much like a tourist in any city. That is one area a lot of tourists visit, and a miss. La Defense is not here. If you insist on visiting those areas, take a great big fold out map - you'll need it anyway.

For anyone to say that this map is worthless because the 16th ar is left off, really doesn't understand the purpose of this map. So if you have an older version, it will more than likely work today. This map is the perfect addition to other guidebooks (Paris (EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE)). The RER portion of the metro has expanded over the years, but not so much as to make the older maps useless. My interpretation, virtually every street in the core area mapped is shown on this map. You won't find Musse Marmottan on here, but all the big attractions are listed. I think they did a great job balancing those factors.The update of this map bought in May of 2009 is dated 2009.

From somebody that has spent a lot of time in this beautiful city, the Streetwise map of Paris is a welcome pedestrian companion.

This map was extremely useful on a recent trip to Paris. The print is a good size and the lamination is great - especially in inclement weather.I would have appreciated a better map of the metro.All in all, a worthwhile purchase.

We preferred the tourist map the hotel gave out (and at the airport), over the laminated Paris map since the tourist attractions were marked better (easier and quicker to get our bearings).

Luckily I have two day from shipping Amazon. That is good cause no one from Manhattan would ever want or dare go to the Bronx. I had the misfortune to lose my Paris Streetwise map. No the map does not cover the whole city. Thank you Streetwise. When ordering I read some of the reviews. It's like getting a New York City map that doesn't cover the Bronx.

But.What makes Streetwise more than `good enough' is that it covers what you want and need. Ugh. All maps are some sort of compromise. Please. However what's missing is not where you want to go. The junk is left out. Thank you.
