The Rough Guide to France (Rough Guide Travel Guides)

The Rough Guide to France (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
Customer Review: No help with deciding where to go
This might be a good guide if you already know whch places you’re going to visit - then you could maybe use this guide to decide what to see and where to stay when you get there. But it’s no good if you want to decide which towns and regions to visit. Each section starts and ends with detail, detail about the town’s main sites and hotels and estaurants, so it feels like you’re reading a 1000 page shopping list.

For me what it needs is an intro of one or two pages on each main town with an impresionistic overview of whether it’s a good place to go and the good points and bad points. Preferably with more photos.

Customer Review: Detailed, up-to-date and consistently reliable
Initially, I thought that France couldn’t be summed up in one book and certainly would not go in to as much depth as separate publications on different parts of France (e.g. Rough Guide to the Loire etc.)- but this guide is one of the most detailed and reliable sources I’ve ever used.

Although information is condensed - the guide comprehensively covers both the large city areas (rigorously) and the smallest of villages (with useful information and pointers of where to find more information)

The format of the guide is the same as that of previous publications - which, is helpfully easy to navigate.

The book is thorough and up-to-date - with no mistakes (based on my trips since I have bought the book) and without doubt should be an essential part of your hand luggage!
