Customer Reviews

Great for countryside travelling.

I am using this book to plan my drive through France. It's ideal if you plan to rent a car and drive the countryside. He tells you routes to take and suggests the most scenis ones. He also gives good, brief history of the areas and makes restaurant, hotel and site-seeing information, including telephone numbers which is incredibly helpful. My only complaint...and the reason I give four instead of five stars...is that in giving driving directions he does not tell you which way to head: north, south, east, west. So in mapping out my journey ahead of time, I am finding myself frustrated trying to figure out which direction he recommends and then looking for the villages on my map.
