Essential for the serious tourist
10 May 2000
Format:Paperback
"Serious tourist" may sound like an oxymoron, but it's a good name for those of us who like to as much as possible about the places we travel to for pleasure. Without our Michelin guide, we would have very little sense of the context of the tiny hill towns we visit; with it we not only have that sense, but we have also transmitted more about the history of this region of France to our children than they know about the United States. But it's not just history and art history. Excellent directions to scores of wonderful sites, hiking trails, warnings about towns that have few (or in some cases no) places to eat, surprisingly accurate information about seasonal openings and closings, hours, and admissions, and cross-references to Michelin maps make this little book indispensable. Sites are starred very conservatively--a one-star site is definitely worth a detour--and the times given for looking around are realistic. Even the index is decent. Caution: the type is somewhat small.

South of France guide
23 Aug 2010
Format:Paperback
This is a very good guide book with the basics for touring the south of France.
My major complaints are the following:
1. the text doesn't refer to the maps printed in the pages when discussing sights (or, if it does, I haven't figured out how yet)
2. the cities appear to be organized alphabetically (by geographical area) though I'm not entirely clear on this yet.
3. the map keys don't seem to include all the symbols
Of the three guide books that we brought on our visit to the south of France, this one has proved to be the most useful in organising the trip.
