[Willy Eckerslike · Rating 2 out of 5]

Finding and English language guide in preparation for our holiday in Alsace proved very difficult so we bought this guide by default - we normally prefer the Rough Guide books as they are intuitively laid-out and are ideal for planning a holiday.

This book, however, is the exact opposite. The alphabetical organisation is alright if you want to look up a town but you need to use it in conjunction with a map to find the places of interest in your vicinity. This guide also covers far too much territory (unless you're on a driving holiday) so there is never enough information about the places you're visiting - the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's entry for Earth springs to mind ("mostly harmless").

There is a French language Michelin guide to Alsace alone, but as it is little more than an extract of this book is isn't much help either.
If you're looking for a really good guide to Alsace, look no further than the book we found in the tourist information office in Strasbourg (ISBN 978-3-929228-93-9, published by Kraichgau Verlag).
