Customer Reviews

Phew

If your renting a car and traveling this book really helped. It gives you for example the parking places in Aix and roads to use-its right on. The sites it picked are well thought out and "no-nonsense". I think its worth the weight during the trip we took.

Our Most-Used Source

This book is worth the price and the last-minute shipping that we needed to get it to us before our flight to France. We referred to it constantly. We used it to select which drives to take on a given day, and it is of great value here. Readers may disagree with some of the star-ratings on certain sites (and sights), but this is to be expected and one should calibrate oneself against the views of the author. For example, we would rate Aix-en-Provence lower, Nimes lower, and the upper Vaucluse in general higher. Once you see where your tastes lie (Roman ruins more interesting than Vacqueyras tasting?) then you will know how to use the book to its best advantage. Highly recommended.
