Indispensable Guide
April 21 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
I love Frommer's travel guides. I never plan a vacation without them. They always provide insightful, useful, and money saving information. This edition did not disappoint. We planned our vacation to Paris and were pleasantly surprised at how accurate the full color fold out map of Paris was. The attractions were easy to find and the streets easy to read. The authors did an excellent job of providing attraction, dining, and transportation information. The tips throughout the book were especially helpful and saved us time and money. We didn't need any other travel guide.

Standard Guidebook Broadly Covering France
May 27 2012
By Keith E. Webb
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Vine™ Review
One trouble with whole-country guidebooks is they a mile wide and an inch deep, Frommer's France 2012 unfortunately falls into this category.
The guide begins with a chapter full of "best of" lists of France's best museums, sites, restaurants, and hotels. This concept of listing 5 "best of" restaurants or museums from around the country as if one could experience them during one trip, illustrates the shallowness of the guide.
It moves onto a short history of France, that is about the right length for most tourists.
The rest of the guide is organized by region following a formula of: Short description of the city, Essentials (arriving / departing information), Where to Stay, Where to Eat. Larger cities have a few more recommendations, but overall, there are 3-4 recommendations for each town. A strong point is the number of maps - 48. There is also a fold-out pocket map. One side is all of France (inch deep, again), the other side tourist Paris.
Frommer's France 2012 is in full color, and where it is physically weighty at 2 lbs (896 gm). I can't imagine why I would carry this guide with me to France once plans are made.

Great!

Great colorful guide! I know everyone brings their iPads, smart phones, GPS on trips these days. But it's still nice to have a book in your pack. I love gadgets but sometimes there are those sticky situations (no signal, low battery, stolen/lost devices...)the they really let you down. This is a great back up.
Even with adbundant info on the web, I would still buy these books just to use as inspiration or for pre-trip planning!I would also bring them with me on trips as they fun to look at during long plane rides or use at nights in hotels to plan next day's itinerary... Contains lots of great information, wonderful color photos, maps...
A really great and handy guide.
