2 comments about Zagat Survey - Paris Restaurant Guide 1999 (Zagat).

1. Here are few quotes on the back cover: "indispensible" (twice), "Best single source," "As good as Michelein." Any guide to Paris restaurants lacking the FAX number is not as useful as it could be. I spend six weeks annually in France (up to two weeks of that in Paris) and have found that it is a must to make reservations no less than three months in advance. (For 5 star/3 rosette restaurants six months or more is required.) For the past 15 years I have faxed reservation requests to as many as 30 restaurants. Each restaurant has confirmed my request with only a few exceptions over the 15 years. If you aren't fluent in French (I write my faxes in English) and you like the assurrance a confirmed reservation can give you, faxing is the way to go. It is inexpensive too; less than $1.

   I hope Zagat changes their format but, until they do, I'll continue to rely heavily on the Michelein Red Guide.




2. I just recently (July 1998) returned from Paris where I used my newly published Zagat guide daily. The guide directed me to restaurants that were excellent and unknown to me from previous visits. Having used the New York City version for many years, I was delighted to see that the Parisian "reviewers" were similar in their thoughts as the New York City reviewers as concerns food, decor and service. The Zagat Paris Guide is much more informative than the Michelin Red Guide and other tourist guides. This guide (in its French edition) was prominently displayed in the Paris bookstores. Travelers to Paris should not pass up buying a copy. I look forward to future updates!

1 comments about Fodor's Paris 2001: Completely Updated Every Year, Color Photos and Pull-Out Map, Smart Travel Tips from A to Z (Fodor's Gold Guides).

1. Fodor's Paris 2000 Gold Travel Guide is in good, like-new condition. It has minimal highlighting in the travel section. If you're not familiar with the Fodor's guides, they're a must for any traveller! This Paris guide includes sections on "Exploring Paris", "Dining", "Lodging", "Nightlife and the Arts", "Outdoor Activities and Sports", "Shopping", "Side Trips from Paris", and "Background and Essentials". Each section of Paris is broken down into managable, easy to understand neighborhoods with suggested routing and stops along the way making it easy for readers to know at a glance just where they are--and where they want to go. A 5 day itinerary section is also included, as well as a section on traveling Paris with kids. As with all Fodor's guides, the section on "Smart Travel Tips" is a must! It includes extensive, practical information about getting into and out of Paris, banking and postal services, safety, transportation, and more.

1 comments about The First Time I Saw Paris: Photographs and Memories from the City of Light.

1. Everyone likes flipping through good photography books but this one you'll have to read. Aside from superb photography, Miller captures the soul of Paris in a way pictures of monuments never can. These Parisians look right into your soul -- and vice versa -- even before you read Miller's commentary. If you love Paris (particularly pre-McDonald's) you have to check out this book. Plus there's Miller's own poignant, amusing, self-revelatory look at an American GI in the postwar City of Light. Life is really about people, not monuments, and Paris is no exception.
