This was really only useful for giving me the address of Etam Cite des Femmes, which was like a wonderful magic fairyland where I bought a bunch of clothes on a great sale they were having. The descriptions of the shopping neighborhoods are spotty and could really use some maps. Most of the focus is on getting designer clothes, which I can't afford even at the super-secret sale stores, so this was not very useful.
