I may not be headed for the Louvre but I do need other information.,
By Ned Middleton (British professional underwater photo-journalist & author) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Lonely Planet France (Paperback)
My work involves visiting the world's major shipwrecks. Whilst I may not be looking for those major attractions treasures which are found in the places I visit, I do have need of that local information which tells me where I can stay and eat. Consequently, I am just as likely to be seeking the same information in some out-of-the-way port as any visitor.Over many years I have consulted a great many books which claim to be visitor guides. Because I have neither the time nor the patience for false, misleading, out-of-date or simply inaccurate information, most of those so-called guides have ended up in the bin. This is not so with the Lonely Planet country guides and this one is as good as they get. In short; Thoroughly recommended. Just make certain you purchase the latest edition. NM

This review is from: Lonely Planet France (Paperback)
Boy was this book a disappointment. Other LP guides weren't this bad. It seems this book only tries to get you to those places every other tourist is at, and only by public transportation. It skips out-of-the-way places that locals know and love, chooses hotels in noisy central sections of larger towns only. Worse, my 2002 edition still didn't give costs in Euro! Thanks to friends living in various areas of France, I was able to visit wonderful places that aren't even mentioned in the book. Restaurants were poorly chosen, and almost always tourist traps. If you rented a car (which is a really smart way as a group) you won't find any info in this book about getting around, or doing such duh! activities as wine-tasting routes, swimming holes, you-pick farms, sound-and-light shows. LP, if you're reading this: ever heard of the Puy-du-Fou? Everyone in Europe seems to have been there!

The best out there,

This review is from: Lonely Planet France, 8th Edition 8th Ed. (Paperback)
The Lonely Planet books are the best travel guide books available! We have used them to travel through Egypt, Israel, China, Vietnam and most countries in Europe and found them to be excellent. We have slept in and ate in many of the places that they recommend and never once come away disappointed. This holds true for the France book as well. The description of sights to see is to the point and just what we needed. The details on which bus/metro to take to various places has always been accurate. As a seasoned traveler, I would definitely say that Lonely Planet books, including the France one, are the best out there!
