I have given a prior Paris Michelin a very enthusiastic review--no longer applicable. The current version is a seriously flawed attempt at a "greatest [somewhat popular] hits" version of a Paris Michelin red guide. We now supposedly have a selection of the "420 best restaurants" in Paris. Far from accurate. Many surprising fillers have made Michelin's cut from the full list. You have to read between the lines--a restaurant that is faintly praised as "not without charm" really means it is without charm. And many restaurants in Paris, along with the entire suburbs, are dropped entirely. The hotel list is significantly pared down from the full book. 60 hotels, that's it. Organized alphabetically, not by location, which diminishes the utility of the hotel list while it hides the tiny number represented. Perhaps the tour groups targeted for this book have already picked their hotels.
Michelin acknowledges it's a smaller list than the Paris section of the full France book, but then goes on to confuse by saying that "This publication presents a larger selection of hotels carefully selected by our inspectors." "This publication" is the big France book with the complete "selection"--not the Paris book you were looking to buy with its even more pared down sub-selection taken from the larger selection. This modern Paris Michelin does in fact have some useful information, e.g., weekend openings on its limited list, but it is so coyly presented for Michelin's own misguided marketing purposes, that most will be better served by an alternative guide.
