Streetwise Paris Map - Laminated City Center Street Map of Paris, France - Folding pocket size travel map with metro map including lines & stations

I took this map with me on my first trip to Paris in October 2007. I'm glad I had it. I was able to find every street, monument and museum that I was looking for. It's very accurate, small enough to fit into the back pocket of my jeans width wise and seemingly indestructible. I used post-it flags to mark important locations (such as my hotel) for easy navigation. I always had the map with me and never really looked at the guidebooks that I had brought along as well, so I eventually just left the books in my hotel room. Get this map!

This is a very well-done map. The hard-format is particularly welcome. Good index. One drawback is a confusing map of the Paris Metro system, not the classic, easy to read map you usually see.

We just returned from a trip of more than a week in Paris. The Streetwise Paris map was invaluable! I can't name how many times my husband and I commented on how glad we were to have this handy map, especially since Paris is a city NOT designed on a neat grid. The drawings of landmarks and color coding made them easy to locate at a glance. Its compact size fit in my bag or my husband's jacket pockets. The accordian fold allowed us to open it to a specific section of the city, and the lamination kept it from getting tattered or falling apart like a paper map. Wonderful! Need I say more?

This map got me everywhere I needed to go in Paris. I had a few other maps with me, but this one ended up being my go-to map. It had every major destination (and most minor ones too) and clearly marked all the metro stations nearby. The size was convenient - small enough to fit in my purse without marking me as a tourist (no need for my bulky guide-book), yet large enough to read easily. The lamination is a life-saver as anyone who has spent multiple days in a city with a paper map can attest to - no wearing around creases/folds to blur the information. It also doubles as a rain shield - a very handy feature in drizzly Paris.

This is the best street map of Paris I have seen. I used it extensively during my first trip to the city this past summer. Unfortunately, half way thru my stay I lost it. I then had to rely on the hotel hand out map - no comparison. I will be returning to Paris shortly and I purchased another Streetwise Paris.
