Once you get there...
29 Aug 1999
Format:Paperback
While I would not use this as my sole guide to the area, if you are truly interested in the WINES, it provides much needed maps and information. I, unfortunately, did not find this book unitl the last day of my visit to Bordeaux (in the very large bookstore in the center of the pedestrian zone downtown.) I will be seeking the other books in the series -- Burgundy, Loire, Germany...

Great if not on a budget!
19 Jan 2004
Format:Paperback
We came across this book last year as we were planning an early spring visit to France. The maps are great and derived from Hugh Johnson's book "Wine Atlas", and are a good start to planning your driving. They are certainly not going to replace a good Michelin map but they provide good context and highlight the Grand CRu wineries in bold type.
The recommendations are very good if you are not on a budget. The restaurants we visited from the book were top notch, but pricey at 15-20 Euro for prix fix lunch and upwards of 40 Euros for supper.
Too old to be sold
18 Oct 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book was written in 1996. It claims it was updated in 1999. However it quotes a price in French Francs. The Euro replaced the French Franc in 1998. In my opinion, travel books which are this old should not be sold. Don't buy this book!
