I am really pleased with this book. We have several different guide books from other popular guide book series but this is my favorite. It is divided into four sections : maps, travel planning, information about France as a destination, and the main section (which is more like a gazeteer) of french towns and places. These are arranged alphabetically, with star ratings and colour photographs. I know this does not suit everyone, but it makes the book very easy to use.
Also, unlike other guide books, it does not include loads of restaurant guides or accomodation listing (Michelin produce a seperate guide for these) which we dont tend to use, we wanted a book to help us plan which areas of france to explore, and this book is perfect.

A valuable resource!!

I disagree with the reviewer from Switzerland. What I love about the France guide is that Michelin allows travelers to France the freedom to hone up on everything they need to know about major sights and attractions as well as the little hidden corners of the country that real francophiles might enjoy. These are the places where you don't run in to everyone else on vacation with the same guidebook. You can break away from the crowds and still have enough information to make new discoveries. As go the hotel and restaurants, there is a nice red book called the Michelin Guide France that accompanies the Green Guide. Anyone going to France should most certainly have a copy of it - use this and eat in authentic restaurants the way only savvy locals do. Michelin provides you enough info to make your own discoveries without any surprises.

The best and most thorough available.

Don't visit France without this! It provides detailed information that enriches your enjoyment of every place you visit. If the detail given is too much for you, you can just skip on to something that interests you more. The pictures, the little maps of many of the sites, the descriptions and analyses of stained glass windows -- very helpful for those of us who are not experts in history, art history, architecture, etc.

no color, no embedded local maps

The Kindle version is disappointing, no color, no embedded local maps, just references to Michelin Maps. Well, the cover is in color, as an iPod user I feel deceived
