 Rating:  - Great guideJust returned from a trip to Nice, Villefranche, St Jean Cap Ferrat, and Monte Carlo and this is the guide we lived by. Rating: - Easy Travel CompanionWe recently traveled throughout Provence and used this guide to determine what to stop and see and what to miss. Great pictures, up-to-date information about costs and hours. We use this series whenever we travel. Rating: - Plateau de Valensole, sigh.....Oh, this book made me wish I was in France. Pictures of Lavender fields, sweeping views of the Plateau de Valensole (the largest lavender-growing areas of Provence), the Vieux Port looking south, with Notre-Dame de-la-Garde that I didn't have time to see because we were too busy shopping for pretty French clothes and soaps. You will be delighted with information on The Riviera, The Alpes Maritimes, The Var, The Iles D'Hyères, Bouches-Du-Rhône, Nîmes, Vaucluse and Alpes-De-Haute-Provence. This book is part of a series of books called: Eyewitness Travel Guides. Each book is a graphically exciting and visually pleasing guidebook. You will find concise maps, carefully selected hotels, restaurants and cafes in all price ...

I was very impressed with one of the resteraunts they recommended. It was one of the "least expensive" restaurant and was one of the best meals we have ever had. While the quanity ...

I ran into very few American tourists and discovered many secret places that I'll definitely visit again. The photographs and detailed descriptions of using pay telephones, parking meters and public bathrooms were great and saved me alot of time on the learning curve. I like that it doesn't contain huge laundry lists of hotel and restaurant addresses; I enjoy patronizing establishments that I find by just walking around. There is something for every style of traveller in this little gem! |
