Now I only hope we can travel and use this book on the ground!
So for I have used this Rough Guide to plan a really exciting-looking trip through Provence. Now I only hope that regardless of the resurgence of COVID we'll really be able to travel in January. I love how Rough Guides give me not only practical advice, but also include tons of history, background, culture. With all the digital tools, I no longer need a guidebook to pick a restaurant, but having a Rough Guide with me as I drive through Provence will fill me in with the knowledge I want, village by village, and therefore deepen both my understanding and my enjoyment.
Attractive book
This book looks really good. It’s a present so don’t know if it’s good but it looks promising from the cover!
An excellent book. It is comprehensive
An excellent book. It is comprehensive, has lots of maps and is easy to read. I prefer it to the LP guide.
