Off last-minute to Paris this weekend, and thought I'd post some of the web sites that have made the whole process super-easy. Booked a hotel through the efficient but inelegant hoteldirect.co.uk; chose a restaurant with the help of The New York Times Paris Restaurant listings, CityNeo (in french), L'Express's "Les bonnes tables a Paris" (also in french) and the Time Out Paris Restaurant listings (the best of the lot); got my bearings with Maporama (though wished the maps were bigger); checked train timetables from the airport to the town centre at the Transilien SNCF site, and downloaded some detailed PDF street maps from RATP.
