The rough guide to France - David Abram

The Rough Guide to France covers every corner of one of Europe's most visited countries from Parisian cafes to the chic resorts of the Cote d'Azur. A full-colour introduction includes the pick of the sights and activities with over 50 colour photographs. The guide gives lively reviews of the best places to eat, drink, shop and party, wherever you are and whatever your budget. For every region, there are also practical tips for exploring the French countryside from the peaks of the Alps to the fertile Loire Valley. In the 'contexts' section, the team of experienced writers provide insider coverage of French culture, wine, festivals, history and film and some language essentials. All this, and over 40 maps and plans.
