Excellent recommendations for every region in France - including 'must see' attractions and 'off the beaten path' gems. We found a lovely local hotel in Normandy (with a superb in house restaurant) and all kinds of information on the Dday beaches. The gem of our trip - a small hotel in a very small resort town west of Cannes - was a recommendation from this book. The history and background are necessarily brief but very informative and we found nearly everything we needed in just this one volume. Highly recommend.

Disappointed. I traveled around France and very few of the cities I stopped at were in this book. Those that were included had scant little details about the city's history.

I had a Lonely Planet guide to Germany for the week before and was thrilled with it. I'll stick to lonely Planet from now on....

This will be an excellent resource for my travels in France.
