The Paris Mapguide: The Essential Guide La Vie Parisienne (Mapguides, Penguin)

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.

Michael Middleditch is the author of The Penguin London Mapguide, The Paris Mapguide, The New York Mapguide, The Penguin Map of Europe, The Penguin Map of North America, and The Penguin Map of the World.
