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.

I love Michelin Guides, but I think I will try to buy hard copy from now on. The problem is, that I can never have enough guide books. When I was in Paris this past spring, I bought hard copies of several great guide books, but they were so heavy to schlep around! As I get older, the inconvenience of using guidebooks online (especially the wonderful Michelin maps included in all of their guide books is overshadowed by carrying around several kilos of guides (Pariswalks, Companion Guide for Paris, etc.) for miles around the city. So I guess I will have to cope with online guidebooks after all! In addition to this excellent guide, I bought the Lonely Planet Guide for Provence, the Rough Guide, Rick Steven's... you get the idea all online on my Kindle. If I had gotten them in hard copy, I would have had to pay overweight for my luggage!
