Description
Take the guesswork out of vacation planning. Frommer's hires only seasoned experts, journalists who live in France either full-time or part-time, which means their advice doesn't have to be second-guessed. It's savvy, dependable, and not based on one or two short trips to France but on a lifetime of exploration. They offer a detail- and tip-rich commentary on France's iconic sights and will introduce you to restaurants, off-the-beaten-path attractions, and shops that few tourists know to visit.
So whether you're going to be castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, skiing the French Alps, lounging on the sands of the French Riviera, tippling at Bordeaux wineries, or taking Paris by storm, this book is for you. Vive La France!
Frommer's France contains:
- Dozens of stunning, full-colour photos throughout
- Helpful maps, including a fully-detachable fold-out map
- Strategic itineraries, including for families and weeklong stays, so you can make the most of your time
- Authentic experiences to help you appreciate French culture, cuisine, historic sights, and customs like a local
- Candid reviews of the best restaurants, attractions, tours, shops, and experiences with advice on the ones not worth your time and money
- Accurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, costs, telephone numbers, and more
- Budget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you're travelling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxury
