2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing Guide 1 Oct 2012
By CEM - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used to always rely on Frommer's for travel suggestions and tips. But this book--as well as the guidebook on Paris--were most disappointing. Only cursory information and a lot of good spots missing. Rick Steve's was much better (and that's hard for me to admit, since I'm not a Rick Steve's fan). The friends we were traveling with made the same observation. Luckily we had rented a house that had plenty of other guidebooks to rely on, otherwise there's a lot we would have missed or not known.

2.0 out of 5 stars don't go in march 21 Mar 2012
By bk - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
so our frommer's provence guide which we bought last month said said march was a good time to go (in fairness, they say sept was their favorite time, but clearly say March is in the 'good' window of time to visit)

i'd have to strongly disagree with March being a good time to go. certainly, it's quieter in march. but.....

TREES

much of provence's charm are the trees and tree-lined streets and promenades. without leaves, it looses quite a bit of it's charm

if i had to do it over again and wanted to go in spring (to avoid the summer high-season), i'd go in late april, maybe early may.

RESTAURANTS

the other issue is that in March, there are still some restaurants (or other locations, such as a wine cave Lourmain) may not be open (from their winter hibernation). or if they are open, you may be the only one there. although i like to avoid tourists when travelling, eating in a almost empty restaurants is.... i don't know... a little weird. unless you like that sort of thing :)

YELP

lastly, there was a recommended restaurant in our book in avignon that the meal wasn't great. i believe the name was Hiély-Lucullus.

the meat was very chewy. definitely not what we expected for one of our more expensive meals in france. maybe they had an off night. maybe their real chef only works during tourist season? who knows

yelp.com seems to become more popular in france now so before you go or while you're there, i'd cross-check places with yelp (i have an iphone with sprint. i'm in san diego. as long as i had wifi access, which was everywhere, there were no additional fees from sprint to use internet to use yelp and google maps!
