4.0 out of 5 stars
I may not be headed for the Louvre but I do need other information.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 10 REVIEWER) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: France (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (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 Because I have neither the time nor the patience for false, misleading, out-of-date or simply inaccurate information, most of those so-called guides have ended up in the bin.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. NM

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

Perfect for anyone wanting to see the real France,
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!
