Selling for a lower price than any similar guidebook, and deliberately limited to a short 256 pages, this EasyGuide is an exercise in creating easily-absorbed travel information. It emphasizes the authentic experiences in each destination:the most important attractions, the classic method of approaching a particular destination; the best choices for accommodations and meals; the best ways to maximize the enjoyment of your stay. Because it is "quick to read, light to carry", it is called an "EasyGuide", and reflects Arthur Frommer''s lifetime of experience in presenting clear and concise travel advice.

Four long-time residents of France have here combined their talents to compress the highlights of that nation into one, 256-page volume: Paris, Normandy, The Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera. Since most visitors confine their trips to three-or-so of these five areas, and rarely visit other lesser parts of France, this compact, $10.95 book will be regarded as just the right thing, a fortunate purchase. Our authors are French enthusiasts, and share Thomas Jefferson''s belief that "Every man has two countries, his own and France".

Simply to name the highlights is to stir travel excitement: Nice and Cannes, St. Tropez and Monaco, Arles and Avignon, Aix-en-Provence, the Cote d''Azur and the South of France. The many sunny, playful or historic cities and renowned resort areas are all we''ll-covered in this new Easy Guide. It is freshly-researched and up-to-date, and joyfully-written by Frommer''s top corps of journalist-experts on all things French. You''ll enjoy their obvious love of the destination.

It was Thomas Jefferson who reputedly said that "every man has two countries, his own and France". The five authors of our Easy Guide to that country (each dealing with the area of their specialty) obviously share Mr. Jefferson''s viewpoint, so heartfelt and positive is their reaction to the major highlights of France and the single best options for lodgings, meals, sightseeing, shopping, and more. Like all of Frommer''s guides, the emphasis here is on preferences, the strong opinions of each author, the factually-based recommendations they make, in a 288-page easy-to-use book that does not overwhelm with unnecessary locations, but with Paris, Normandy, the Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera.

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.
