 THE travel book Jan 15, 2008
By C. Placido
Was given this book as a gift for my trip to Paris. It was THE book I kept on me at all times. An indispensible tool for the travler who likes to travel light. The maps, broken down in areas, were great for walking the often complex Paris streets. Blank sheets to jot down addresses of that special restarurant or patisserie. Smaller note sheets to tear out after using them, say, for metro directions. A small pocket for ticket stubs. A truly useful tool for getting around. Going to Rome later this year and will get the Rome version. Another bonus, you can give your book to friends after you use it so they can benefit from your notes and book info. It does not have destination information, so you'll have to use another book for that, like Eyewitness Travel (good also). So get out there!

 great DIY travel book Dec 12, 2008
By RI knitter
I spent a month in Paris with this notebook, and used it every day. The maps are great and the tabbed pages are useful when you need to find something. I also liked the three fabric page markers, so you can have one at a map, one on a blank note page, and one on the tabbed page item you're trying to get to. The only slight problem I had was my front cover came unglued, but I taped it together and it held up fine after that.
I really liked having an all-in-one reference that doesn't scream TOURIST!

Great for list writers who freak out before going on a trip... Feb 07, 2010
By CB
I am a list writer. It helps me feel more prepared. This is an excellent Moleskine notebook for me in preparation for my upcoming trip to Paris. I love that there are maps of the metro and also the city. I was able to write down important phone numbers to my credit card company, etc. and also had a spot to write in the addresses of those I plan to send postcards to back home. I also made lists of movies I watched in preparation for the trip (travel documentaries, etc.) and I made lists of all of the things I really didn't want to miss. There's plenty of space for little lists and thoughts while I'm there too. I recommend this to anyone who thinks that the time and thought you devote prior to a trip helps enrich the experience while you are there, and helps you remember what you did when you return. :)

Paris City Book by Moleskine Mar 09, 2008
By Nini
The city book series by Moleskine is very compact and useful. It is small enough to fit in my purse and has a wonderful city maps section that is very useful. I love these city books. I want them to add more cities!

 Would have been better to include all of central Paris in the map section Oct 09, 2011
By hatless
This is an elegant, somewhat useful notebook with a great idea behind it. Plus it's tiny and adorable. The trouble is, I have a ton of elegant, adorable notebooks already. I bought this one not for want of 200-ish acid-free pages, a few inches of sturdy thread, and some black cardboard rectangles (charming as they are), but for want of an iPhone or any sense of direction. What I'm saying is that all I really wanted it for was the discreet little street map of Paris, to help me find my way around the 20th arrondissement, where I was staying, and where I may very well always want to stay. Which turned out to be too bad for me, because the detail map provided in this notebook leaves off that part of Paris just as if it didn't exist (it's not even marked on the wide-shot map of the whole city), along with large bits of the 14th and 16th, and almost all of the 11th, 12th, 13th and 19th. I immediately threw away the little slip of paper that came folded around this notebook (which also comes wrapped in plastic, making it impossible to look through before buying in a store), but I don't think this lack of attention to the outer arrondissements was clearly indicated anywhere. Even if it was, the decision to leave off so much of what is still, after all, central Paris, and a city whose outer neighbourhoods are in many places only getting more vital and more interesting all the time, strikes me as one that very much diminishes what this notebook might have had to offer over an ordinary one.
