 Best item I bought for the trip! April 18, 2004

This map got us everywhere we wanted to go in Paris for our 1 week visit. I began using it right off the plane when our shuttle driver didn't know where our apartment was. We used it to keep the rain off our heads, and put it down on dirty benches to protect our clothes. The metro map meant that we never took a wrong train. We spent most of the week on foot and every street we were on was in the map. Most of the items and guides I brought along were looked at in the room before we left every morning, but this map was always with us.
Great Map! June 17, 2003

This map was an essential element of my time spent in Paris. It is perfect if you're going to be in Paris and need a very detailed street map while walking through the city. It doesn't cover many of the outer-lying areas, but it covers the heart of the city in-depth. I speak zero French and this map got me wherever I needed to go. I would recommend any of 'Streetwise' maps. I have used quite a few, both internationally and nationally, and have found them all to be extremely useful. In fact, whenever I know I'm going to be visiting a different city I buy one! Also worth the price because the maps are very durable, they're laminated and I've never had one tear on me.
 Not really a map of Paris! April 25, 2003

This map is crap. I mean it's really bad. Look at any Plan de Paris and you'll see they have one thing in common: they have a map of ALL of Paris, the ENTIRE city! This horrible map doesn't go any farther north than Sacre Coeur (strange), farther east than Pere Lachaise (not good) or farther south than Tour Montparnasse (absolutely, inexcusably whack). That's a huge swath of Paris wiped off the map, especially in the south. Now if you are just a monkey-boy tourist who will only be walking from the Champs Elysees to the Eiffel Tower and then maybe on to the Louvre (but definitely not to the Centre Pompidou, because you just don't 'get' modern art) then woo-hoo! Here's a map, and not only a map, but a laminated one! Let's buy it sweetheart! Oh yes darling, let's! I'm so very happy, love, are you happy? Oh yes, terribly happily! Let's go eat in this little bistro, only in Paris could one find a place so charming!
 Good, but has its limitations November 2, 2005

It's durable, and pretty convenient to use, but (1) it doesn't cover the entire city, and (2) some of the tinier streets on the Left Bank are not marked. If you're not planning on going to any outlying areas it's probably good enough, but if you think you might want to venture out farther, pick up a Plan de Paris par Arrondissement, and you'll never be lost.

We recently embarked on a trip to Paris, and brought this and the Insight Fleximap of Paris. Streetwise was always the one being used. It folds out lengthwise so you don't have to struggle with it. We just found the area we needed and folded it to size. Perfect.
It also had most of the tourist locations we needed and was easy to use. We won't go back without this map. Since it's laminated, you never have to worry about it getting wet.
Also, you'll eventually end up navigating the metros when in Paris, and this was handy for that too. We needed to know where the various gares were, and thankfully this map makes them stand out in blue. You also have your arrondisements clearly noted.
I would recommend this to anyone.
