Customer Reviews

Couldn't have gone without it!

This is a MUST book if travelling to Paris. We used it last year on our family trip, and I'm planning to use it again this year. I was hoping there was a more recent edition than '98 since a few of the shops we went to look for were no longer opened. Overall, this book is absolutely the best and you shouldn't go to Paris without it!

THE book to bring to Paris

This book was my guide to shopping in and around Paris - I wanted the ultimate shopping experience and Susan's book was the perfect companion. She highlighted many little places even my host (who's lived in France for over 20 years) didn't know about. Other books on the subject don't even compare. Can't wait for the next edition - it will give me a definite excuse to go back!!

I found a NEW Paris

This was my third trip to Paris, albeit, on a student budget, and this book helped me to find the best bargains and many interesting shops and districts. Organized perfectly for the Paris walker!

Don't just buy it, memorize it!

If you are female, this book will determine whether your first trip to Paris is a dream come true, or just 'been there, done that.' I thought I knew Paris pretty well, but this book is full of COOL shopping I had never heard of. Way beyond Frommer and the shops everybody already knows about. Susan Winkler has my vote for shopping Goddess of the millenium!

This book made shopping in Paris a wonderful experience.

This book was invaluable on a recent five day trip to Paris. It focused my shopping time for me and cut out the waste of looking through many shops for specific items. The map was accurate and the descriptions right on. I planned two shopping days based on the authors recommendations and comments. The only problem I had was running into a shop that was closed, but listed in the book as open. I learned to call ahead to verify the store hours if they were off the beaten path. I highly recommend this book if you're planning on shopping in Paris.
