Review

"Excellent."
--Financial Times (UK)

"The entries are current, the style is often clever, even passionate and the typeface and paper stock make it smashingly easy to read. It is the kind of book that makes preparation a breeze, particularly if the trip across the Channel is a vague yearning for a new destination."
--www.amazon.co.uk

"Reliable, informative and...an entertaining companion."
--The Sunday Times (UK)

"Some of the best-written guides on the market."
--National Geographic Traveler

"The very best series of travel books is the Cadogan Guides, miniature encyclopedias of not only practical information...but a treasure chest of information on the places you'll be visiting."
--The Tennessean

Amazon.com: 5.0 out of 5 stars (1 customer review)

5.0 out of 5 stars Out-of-date but still the champ!, July 9 2009

By marco polo "traveler" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: France, 2nd (Paperback)

Except for currency, any of the Cadogan (cad-O-gan?)(CAD-o-gan?) guidebooks is, for my money, the best available. I've used the series in northern Spain, Morocco, and eastern Europe in general and in Prague, Provence, and Paris in particular. All the books are informative, intelligently written, well organized, adult, fun.

Unfortunately, however, something must have happened to the publisher sometime in or after 2005. Last year, in preparing for a return trip to Paris, I sought to replace my Cadogan Paris 2004 edition with the company's 2008 version. What a surprise! The new edition is totally revamped, much abbreviated, very glossy. O well. My 2004 edition still worked, and Paris hadn't changed in 5 years anyway.

Thus, with this "France,2nd": it's also 2004 and not as current as are publications from Lonely Planet, Rick Steves, etc. etc. etc. But, oh my goodness! Having used it to plan out a forthcoming French holiday commencing in Tolouse and ending in Paris by way of the Loire Valley and the D-Day beaches, it's still far above anything else on the market.

Going to France? Buy it! You won't be sorry.
