5.0 out of 5 stars The Vendée - sold!, 8 May 2007
This book is an excellent companion for any trip to this region of France as a holiday destination in its own right rather than a stop-off place on the way south. I love Judy Smith's books - her extensive knowledge and true enthusiasm for her subject matter are worn lightly in an easy, very readable written style. This one is no exception. Very attractively laid out and well-illustrated, the book is packed with descriptions of things to do - visit a mussel farm, go bird-watching in one of the many reserves listed, find out how salt is extracted from the marshes or cognac made, for example - as well as many interesting places like La Rochelle, Noirmoutier and Saintes. Famous people and historical events are brought to life throughout, with touches of humour and a story-teller's gift for relaying legends and folk-tales of the region. Overall, the book divides the region into 6 sections and each of these has its own clear summary of places to visit and useful contacts. All this and quirky extras too - find out about James Bond's favourite egg or windmill semaphore! Whatever your interests - ancient abbeys, coastal recreations, revolutionary history or just local food and drink - this book is a real treasure.

3.0 out of 5 stars Competent guidebook for the region, 26 Jul 2008
By Annabel Gaskell "gaskella2" (Nr Oxford, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Having just holidayed in the Charente-Maritime, this was the only English guidebook I found to cover it in any detail - the first half of this book covers the Vendee, the latter half the region I visited.

The text was useful and up to date with all the major sights of the area covered. The maps were rather basic compared with other guidebooks, but were just about sufficient to orient yourself.
My main quibble is the photographs. Although full of colour illustrations which show the sights and features, they lack in pizazz - the skies are hazy, not brilliant blue and the colours are slightly old-fashioned in tone. But as I said before, I couldn't find another English guidebook to give this amount of detail.

A competent if uninspiring guidebook - maybe I should have trusted my French and got a Michelin green guide to go with it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Vendee by Judy Smith, 23 Jun 2009

This review is from: Vendee and Charente-Maritime (Landmark Visitors Guide) (Paperback)
Bought over Amazon via Monteilbooks, the first copy sent was "disappeared" by Royal Mail. Not Monteilbooks fault!
Credit to them they adopted the problem and it arrived today.
Having never been further south than Vannes/Britanny - this guide is really useful. It is bang up to date too.
Welcome addition to the maps and will save valuable time when there.
Good value too and great service from Monteilbooks.
