Summary: Great comprehensive guide - especially for regulars
Comment: The Paris Michelin Green Guide was invaluable for my last visit to France. When I was a kid and lived in Paris we used to have one of these as well and I ordered the updated one this summer before going on my first trip back since I was a teenager. I highly recommend the book for those who want a detailed arrondisement and museum guide on everything there is to do in Paris. Since I lived there, I wanted something that would give me specific details on smaller, lesser known museums as well. This guide does a fabulous job of that. However, if you are a first timer to Paris and France and/or have only a few short days there I am not sure this is the guide for you - you might be better off with an Eyewitness guide or Lonely Planet Guide that will tell you what to see if you only have a short time period to work with. If you have been before or are spending a while in the city this is the guide you want - it will list places you have never even heard of before with details about times/days open (very important to know in Paris!!) and phone numbers, prices, etc etc with mini maps on each area of Paris.

Summary: great cultural reference
Comment: It would be hard to plan a visit to Paris with just this book, the alphabetical organization means you have to keep referring to a map (provided) or other guide. The hotel and restaurant information is brief, about 25-30 pages.
This book is the ideal guide to the cultural sites in the city. I think that you will not find the breadth of information contained in this book anywhere else, certainly not in such a condensed form. One is tempted to say: if it is not in the Michelin Guide, then it is not important.

Summary: get the regional guides for depth information
Comment: I have fond memories of the French Michelin Guide I had 20 years ago. But it was a regional Guide (Provance). What I loved about that book was that it seemed anything of cultural importance in a town (or village) was mentioned in the Guide. That is not the case with this overview version for all of France.
The other problem with this book is that it is organized alphabetically. If you want to plan a day trip from Paris you will need either another book or a lot of map reading to decide what to look up in this Guide.
The regional Michelin Guides are unique, and clearly worth the high ratings they receive. I can't see why anyone would buy this excerpted version.
