Popular and portable,
The Paris Mapguide-now in its second edition-contains everything visitors need to know to enjoy themselves in, get the best out of, and find their way around Paris. Its colorful, informative maps are easy to read and convenient to handle-no unfolding necessary. As terrific as the easily readable maps are, however, there is much more here. Packed into these 64 pages is a surprising amount of information about the many different sights and activities to see and do in and around the City of Light.
Synopsis
The award-winning, bestselling The Paris Mapguide by Michael Middleditch - the best streetmap on the market
The perfect travelling companion, this clever guide combines illustrated, easy-to-read maps with essential facts to help you get the most out of your trip to Paris.
It's light, and slim enough to slip easily into a pocket or small bag, yet packs in a wealth of invaluable information including detailed listings of everything from museums and galleries to markets and gardens, recommendations on restaurants and night life. Several, more in-depth, articles cover major attractions including The Louvre and Notre Dame and feature useful floor plans. Metro and bus route maps will get you wherever you want to go, and there's even a currency converter to help you sort the antique investments from the flea market bargains.
For many years Michael Middleditch was chief cartographer at Geographia. He created the Mapguides especially for Penguin, and there are four award-winning and highly successful titles in the series: New York, Paris, London and the Map of the World.
