Indispensable for those who like to get off the beaten path

This guidebook is unique! It provides maps of short and medium hikes you can take throughout France, complete with details on transportation, lodging and dining in the area. It differs from ordinary guidebooks in that it's geared to the person who enjoys being outdoors and wants to see both beautiful countryside and historic areas as well. The maps are first-rate, unlike many walking books, and each chapter on an area includes an interesting history and overview. I highly recommend this book, even if you are not an avid hiker. Even one of these walks will probably be the highlight of your vacation
