About the author

Le Guide Vert est un livre faisant partie d'une collection de guides touristiques, fondée en 1926 par Michelin, qui met l'accent sur la découverte du patrimoine naturel et culturel des régions.

Il est complémentaire aux cartes Michelin ou de l'IGN, pour renseigner les touristes souhaitant voyager et découvrir une région, plusieurs villes ou un pays, en indiquant les principaux endroits caractéristiques intéressants à visiter, et circuits à effectuer, s'adjoignant elles-mêmes depuis quelques années au GPS.

Il peut aussi s'associer au guide rouge gastronomique et hôtelier Michelin.

Reviews

[James · Rating 3 out of 5]

it's hard to accurately judge this book for a couple of reasons -- generally, travel guides aren't supposed to be read from front to back like a regular book, they're more meant to be references, and this particular travel guide happens to be 15 years old.

BUT, while not necessarily an engaging read, so to speak, i did get something out of reading this, primarily some factoids regarding new england and its people, places, and history. my suggestion though? unless you're a real trivia nut or starved for something else to read, leave this one up to the reference shelf.

Very nice job of covering places for all New England states.
