5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for the experienced and novice traveller., 28 Jul 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Lonely Planet : France (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.

3.0 out of 5 stars Too many museums!, 25 Mar 2003

By	"emyr_gareth" - See all my reviews

This review is from: France (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

While most of the information in this book was factually correct, I found that it didn’t add all that much to my holiday experience. The overviews of the towns and areas were too brief and didn’t concentrate enough on the practicalities of getting around, buying food and getting a feel for the places.
If you want to spend time in museums, art galleries and opera houses, then this guide is for you! If you want to see the real France without spending a fortune, I’d look elsewhere.
It’s all a matter of taste (and budget!) I suppose!

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for anyone wanting to see the real France, 11 April 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: France (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (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!
