This is a real gem of a book. We used it extensively in planning a trip to Paris with our 9 year old son, and it was amongst the first things packed. The information is useful, the size is wholly convenient. Nothing glossy, no photos, no pictures at all. I have borrowed all the glossy stuff from the library to read ahead of time, and anything useful have put as margin notes in THIS book, because this is the one I plan to have along. It tells you how to get to each place, opening hours, what to see and do there. Includes information on attractions especially for kids, as well as all the conventional tourist sites, museums etc, emphasising the aspects that are most likely to appeal to kids. It tells you which parks in Paris kids can run and play on grass - that alone has to be worth its weight in gold.
If you are a first-time visitor to Paris you may feel more comfortable having a good, conventional guide book along as well, but if you don't need the basics (such as how to buy a metro ticket etc) AND you have children along with you, I reckon you'll want to have this book above all others. ( )

A good guide with advice for taking children to Paris. As it turns out, we had almost no trouble at all traveling with our son; the only place where anyone frowned at him was at Sacre Coeur in Montmartre, where they went overboard at making sure NO ONE made any noise at all. Even tiny babies snuffling were "shushed" self-righteously. Probably my least favorite place in the city because of this. It was annoying, really. ( )
