Books : Time Out South of France: Provence and the Cote d'Azur (Time Out Guides)

One of the most romanticized and written-about regions of Europe, the South of France brings together ancient and modern history, stunning scenery, the unparalleled elegance of Cannes and Saint-Tropez, and the raw, energetic pulse of Marseille. There are remote villages, forgotten churches, and vast cloudless skies; there are legendary restaurants and blue-chip casinos; there are vibrant riverfronts and backstreet city bars; and no one can take travelers closer to the action than Time Out’s team of expert resident writers. Fluent in the language and tuned in to the people and politics of this sun-drenched region, they guide visitors across the map, from the Alps to sea level, not missing a sight along the way. This edition of Time Out South of France features new sidebars, photographs, and introductions, as well as updated listings and maps and a new chapter focusing on cultural background.
