Description
Frommer's books aren't written by AI (like so many of the no-name brands you see in online bookstores) or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We hire only seasoned experts-like Anna E. Brooke, Damien Gabet and Tristan Rutherford- 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 local's favorite 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-color photos throughout
Helpful maps, including a fully-detachable fold-out map
Strategic itineraries, including for families and shorter stays, so you can make the most of your time
Authentic experiences and insightful commentary so you can better appreciate French culture, cuisine, historic sights and customs
Candid, impartial reviews of the best restaurants, attractions, tours, shops, and experiences-and advice on the ones not worth your time and money. No entity has paid to be in this guide-or any Frommer's guide. At Frommer's we pride ourselves on decades of journalistic integrity.
Accurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, costs, telephone numbers, and more
Exact pricing for hotels, attractions and restaurants so that there isn't any guessing, or nasty surprises
Budget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you're traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxury

Travel is easy with Frommer's.
