From the Publisher

Who We Are

At Lonely Planet, we see our job as inspiring and enabling travellers to
connect with the world for their own benefit and for the benefit of the
world at large.



What We Do

* We offer travellers the world's richest travel advice, informed by the
collective wisdom of over 350 Lonely Planet authors living in 37 countries
and fluent in 70 languages.

* We are relentless in finding the special, the unique and the different
for travellers wherever they are.

* When we update our guidebooks, we check every listing, in person, every
time.

* We always offer the trusted filter for those who are curious, open minded
and independent.

* We challenge our growing community of travellers; leading debate and
discussion about travel and the world.

* We tell it like it is without fear or favor in service of the travellers;
not clouded by any other motive.



What We Believe

We believe that travel leads to a deeper cultural understanding and
compassion and therefore a better world.

Format:Paperback
True to the tradition of providing up-to-date information for the independent traveller, Lonely Planet's 'France' combines coverage of the main regions of interest with excellent detail in its 1150 pages. There are perceptive descriptions of localities with witty gems gleaned from travellers' experiences of hotels and restaurants suited to all budgets. The section on Paris is particularly thorough and is better than many guide books on the capital. Written for an international readership, the book gives invaluable information for the novice and experienced traveller who wants to access the country from different parts of the world. It's one of the best in the series and it will repay its purchase price many times over. Highly recommended.

By Ned Middleton HALL OF FAME TOP 50 REVIEWER
Format:Paperback
My work involves visiting the world's major shipwrecks. Whilst I may not be looking for those major tourist attractions which are always found in the places I visit, I do have need of local information which tells me where I can stay and eat and so forth. Consequently, I am often found seeking the same information in some out-of-the-way port as any other visitor.

Over many years I have consulted a great many books which claim to be visitor guides. Because I have neither the time nor the patience for false, misleading, out-of-date or simply inaccurate information, most of those so-called guides have ended up in the bin. This is not so with the Lonely Planet country guides and this one is as good as they get.

In short; Thoroughly recommended. Just make certain you purchase the latest edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone wanting to see the real France 11 April 2001
By A Customer
Format:Paperback
This is a perfect accompaniment for anyone travelling or even living in France. I used it on many occasions and would have been stuck without it. Handy maps and accommodation details set it apart from other guides, and its authors are honest and give you their true opinions. Put it in your bag with your baguette and you've got all you need!
