Ordered this together with the Frommer's Provence & Cote D'Azur with Your Family (Frommers With Your Family Series) and the DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Provence & The Cote d'Azur. This guide is far superior to the DK Eyewitness guide, with much more useful information, ranging from practicalities to the language and history chapters. The illustrations have very much improved compared to what you could expect from a Rough Guide just a few years ago.

This Rough guide is well written and gives clear descriptions of towns and landmarks in Provence. I have used this book and the earlier edition many times when I travel to this part of France.

Format:Paperback
I am great fan of Rough Guides and have over years bought numerous guides covering many corners of the Globe. The reason for this is the insight and huge amount of information you always get. This however is not the case with Provence guide which is definitely not on par with the rest of the Rough guides. To begin with it is rather thin and has several omisions e.g. towns and regions not mentioned and described. For instance is she village/town of Carros absent and the description of Nice is rather superficial. There is room for improvement in the next edition. In the meantime look elsewhere for a detailed Provence guide.

I buy one Rough Guide each time I travel to a different city and I absolutely love it! I used to buy American Express and Lonely Planet and I like better Rough Guide. Read more

I got exactly what was advertised. Book in new condition quickly sent. I only wish I'd realised that rough guides aren't published annually. This is not the seller's fault. Read more

The product arrived promptly, and has been used twice already. These were to replace an earlier set which had been lost. They are very effective.

informative and comprehensive - because the area it's covering is so vast, it can't go into lengthy detail about partcular places, like small villages, but it's a useful guide. Read more
