Only for church architecture fanatics..., 26 Feb 2011

I read it and was dissapointed. The book does really nothing else but to describe churches all over Burgundy. In the middle of the book it becomes irritating. No mention of the landscapes, wine testing, very very few advices for restaurants, no suggestions what to do when visiting a city of the region apart from ... churches. I mean, ... really!

Knowledgeable, well organized and humorous, 1 May 2010

I was very satisfied with this guide. The presentation of the places is knowledgeable to the extent that you learn many things without being overwhelmed. It is very well organized helping you with ready made routes. I particularly liked the clever english humour of descriptions.
Apart from all these advantages, this is a text with an opinion and a point of view of the place it describes. You actually dialogue with the authors who give their informed opinion of the places. It doesn't only give you information. I would say that it keeps you company.
This is my first Cadogan guide and I 've already became a believer. Very satisfied indeed.
