Format:Paperback
I'd spent ages trying to glean information for road trips from other guidebooks, but this one has it all. It covers the well known places to a visit with an 'off the tourist-trail' twist. In Normandy alone it covers the villages and memorials of the Somme, the rural area around Camembert, a route to get to Mont St Michel, and a route through countryside just because the 'remarkable variety of landscapes and atmospheres'.
The drive it recommends for a trip through the Pyrennees looks like something straight from Top Gear. I wish I could do it all in 2 weeks!!
My only concern will be our ability to relax when driving on the other side of the road in rural areas, and if I could improve one thing it would be to recommend some campsites along with hotels in the accommodation options.

Since the informative and beautifully presented DK Eyewitness guides tend to focus on the main tourist attractions, I was pleased to come across this book which encourages you to visit the spots favoured by those with local knowledge, which are often more picturesque or intriguing than the overcrowded and overhyped destinations on the "standard" itineraries.
I was drawn to this book by what looked like Grignan featured on the front cover, the picturesque town just off the Autoroute de Soleil from Lyons to Marseilles (which this book helps you to avoid!) with a fascinating weekly market, and hill-top castle with terraces overlooking lavender fields.
Of course, this guide will only serve to erode some of the special quality of as yet unspoilt places!
