France:The Rough Guide

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 re-structured as boxed features. The book's "Basics" section has been largely re-written 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.
