Great information in a concise form. Lots of phone numbers and metro information to make it easy to get around. My second time to Paris and I loved this book more than the others because it was laid out so I knew what was in and around me, in the area I was in that day. Not heavy and clunky to carry around like the other books are. Lots of listings for everything.
Highly Recommended and Easy To Use

I've been to Paris over 15 times and have never had a guide book be as handy, easy-to-use and comprehensive as this one. My wife and I like to spend our days in neighborhoods, so this book was tremendous because it outlines everything there is to do in any given arrondisement. We just picked a place to start, and then used the book to give us other ideas on where to go and what to do when we got to that neighborhood. It was easily laid out by shopping, things to do, restaurants, etc. so we could pick and choose as we wanted. Good and specific information on each listing to let us know what to expect. Good directions, metro stop information and phone numbers too. All very current info. Since we've been so often, we thought we knew most of the places to go, but we found plenty of new and fun things to do with the book. Highly recommended for both first timers and returning visitors.
One of the best

I disagree entirely with Camilla. When I go to Paris I want a concise "list" of fun things to do and new places to explore. Paris By The Numbers is more current than all the others and I found places I did not know about after living in Paris for 3 years.
