I have been using Michelin guides to France for about 15 years and, although I only received this one about 10 days ago, I can see flaws.
(1) Some places featuring in the main script do not appear in the alphabetical index at the back.
(2) The information panels about a village/town sometimes state the size of population, sometimes not. I find this information useful when guaging the size of a place.
(3) These same information panels sometimes give the Michelin area map number and the map references to locate the place, sometimes not.
(4) The classification of a village as being one of the "Plus beaux villages de France" is very important for the village which must meet strict criteria to qualify and also denotes a place which most tourists would like to see. There are more than 13 such villages in the area covered by this guide but I have only seen one village being so described (Peyre) and that only in passing.
I am touring the area in July so I shall be in a better position to assess the worth of this guide to me at that point.

I agree that this guide is not a patch on earlier versions. The index is extremely poor, and some sights cannot be found by using the map at the front either. Indeed we wasted time searching for information on the Chateau de Queribus - flagged up as 2 star sight on the map. However, we never found the entry.
Some information is out of date. The guide says the eight locks at Fonserans have been replaced by a single lock. In fact the inclined plane that replaced the locks never worked well and stopped being used completely in 2001.
We regret replacing our older guides with this one before our holiday. We have now recovered them from the waste paper bin.

Although this Green Guide is still good it is not so good as the older versions, as it lacks a lot of the detail and has become "popularised". Information is up to date but don't throw away your old copy.

Not the best
Purchased this just before going to the region but having browsed through it I didn't think it was as good as several other Green guides that I have purchased in the past. Read more

Older edition is better
Bought this to update a dogeared old edition (a slightly differently bordered version of the Languedoc) we'd kept in the car for donkeys years. Cant see the point of the upgrade. Read more

Chris's review
A very disappointing book. Is very thin on sightseeing details, other than churches. Also contains little detail about restaurants and things to do. Read more
