what you really need to know about Provence

This remains my favorite to Provence. We've been going there since 1997 and we keep using each new revised edition of Fincham's guidebook. His advice on what to do and which places to seek out is spot on. We've been to Provence enough to have tried alternative to his suggestions and each time we confirm that we should have done what he suggested instead of the alternatives we tried. On this trip we used Fincham's chapter to guide our first visit to Cassis. Following Fincham's advice we arrived in time to find parking, get tickets for a calanques boat trip, and make a lunch reservation at one of his recommended fish restaurants on the port. We felt smug as others were turned away from the full restaurant and then had to stand in line for the overbooked boat trips in the afternoon. Fincham has led to us to great sites, great eats, great wines, and great little places that other tourists miss. We've tried many other provence guidebooks and this remains our favorite.
