Rick Steves' Paris 2007

The book offers a snapshot of Paris during that year. I'm curious whether the author aimed to capture particular events or the city’s atmosphere at that time.

I'm wondering if the guide helped uncover hidden gems or if it leaned more on well-known attractions. How did others find the balance between popular sites and lesser-known places?

Travel guides often become outdated quickly. For those who’ve used this one, does it still feel relevant or are some places no longer accessible or changed?
