Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book moves past the usual guide book contents, and contains a number of wry asides, mini-essays, and descriptive commentaries that are a real help to deciding whether to go to southern France.
For example, the descriptions of food, and the way the sun and dining outside and southern Meditteranean foods come together into a style of cuisine, is fascinating, and makes me drool. However, it also serves as a warning as to what sorts of dining you might receive.
The book moves well between hip locations and the usual vacation fare. I was trying to decide if this was a good place to vacation with children, and the book gently nudged me away, by showing the focus on the adult playground that this area seems to be.
Witty, funny, pointed, and helpful. Good guide.
