France: The Rough Guide, Third Edition (Rough Guides) Book

France is known as a place that will delight the senses--and this Rough Guide will help you bathe in them all, from eyefuls of architecture to the sounds of la mer lapping against the shore, the touch of designer fabrics to the smells and tastes of some of the most renowned cuisine in the world. As authors Baillie and Salmon put it, "The pleasures of the palate run from the simplest picnic of crusty baguette, ham and cheese washed down by an inexpensive red wine through what must be the most elaborate take-away food in the world, available from practically every charcuterie; such basic regional dishes as cassoulet; the liver-destroying riches of Périgord and Burgundy cuisine; the fruits of the sea; extravagant pastries and ice cream cakes.... If you feel inadequate in the face of all this choice, never be afraid to ask advice, for most French people are true devotees, ever ready to explain the arcane mysteries to the uninitiated." In France: The Rough Guide, the country's attractions are written up with creative flair and insightful advice, and the honest reviews of food and accommodations offer something for every traveler's budget. The coverage is complete with sections exploring history, cuisine, wine, literature, architectural terms, art, festivals, and politics. Bon voyage!Read More

  • Product Description

    This new edition has been completely overhauled by its original authors and a support team. Taking responsibility for different chapters, they travelled the length and breadth of France throughout 1991 by car, motor bike, train, plane and on foot. Practical information has been separated and put into easy-to-use listings format (with hotel prices given in new price bands), while much of the book's background information - its cultural, historical, literary and wine-lover's asides - has been restructured as boxed features. The book's "Basics" section has been largely rewritten to anticipate the new face of Europe in the 1990s, with masses of information on travel deals, specialist holidays, EC documentation for travelling and residing, visitors with special needs, and a great deal of new information on food and drink. The fourth edition includes increased coverage of the Jura, Massif Central, Loire and Alps, and features a fresh series of walks.
