Let's Go France: The Student Travel Guide

by Let's Go Inc., Courtney A. Fiske

France is often distilled down to a pretty picture: the Eiffel Tower illuminated against the night sky, a field of lavender in Provence, or an extravagant château reflected in the still waters of the Loire. Let’s dig a little deeper.

We’ve brought you the best in budget accommodations so that you can save your hard-earned cash for that perfect splurge in a Parisian boutique or a nine-course dinner in Dijon. Get ready for a fierce pétanque match in a quiet Provencal village, and a warm, buttery croissant in a quiet bakery in Lyon. Let us show you the way to a hidden waterfall in the Pyrenees. Whether you’ve been searching for an Impressionist masterpiece, a glimpse at the snowy peaks of Mont Blanc, or the taste of an authentic bouillabaisse in the port of Marseilles, France is bound to leave you breathless. So pick up a copy of Let’s Go France and get ready for an adventure you’ll never forget.

A great student's guide for traveling throughout France. There are a lot of great restaurant and bar listings, some well-known others under-the-radar, and every one I tried was wonderful. It's a budget-friendly guide that also includes trendy, slightly upscale options. This was my bible while living in Paris as a cash-strapped student.

Some good tips, but about as hard to navigate as a foreign country. For some reason, this book seemed very oddly organized...

This was helpful on my first trip to France 8 years ago... aka 2005
