Although I love Rough Guides, this one was a disappointment. Not enough detail. Not enough information about how to get to places. On a more positive note, the small city maps inside the book are as good as in other Rough Guides.

I write just about the same thing for every Rough Guide, because, even though it seems to be in decline, that guidebook series remains the most reliable, the most informative, overall the best series I have ever used when I travel.
France is no exception, in fact it's better written than most - and that's saying something, in my book. I visited at least 12 cities on my last trip and learned something new about each one. If you're looking for a detailed travel book, filled not with pictures (don't you see the era things when you're there?) go with this series!

I read through about ten guidebooks before my last trip to France and found this to be the best. Then when I went to France it was indeed helpful. I was actually dissapointed with the LP one for France, it was not as "off the beaten path" as I was hoping/expecting. Seems with LP that it really depends on the writer, they tend to vary greatly in quality/depth of info from volume to volume and country to country.

This is a regular travel guide. I don't think it is any better than the others.
