Good book

Informative and well organized with alot of good information. i like their trip planning section. You may want more details in eacy city/town though.

Can't wait to see Provence

I have always loved the Frommer's Guides and this one is no disappointment. Very useful information, with plenty of listings of restaurants, hotels, and attractions which coem in handy in a guide book. Other guide books do not have nearly as much information. So I highly recommend this one - short & sweet!

Helpful hints

This is very helpful with specific hints for our travel next week. Being practical it really gives a sense of how we can budget our time.

Impressive

I borrowed the first edition from the library and I found that the book gave good itinerary suggestions as well as a good background on the area. Also, it doesn't limit itself to Provence and the Riviera; instead, it has a whole chapter on the Roussillon, which is another beautiful region of the South of France. I am buying this updated edition with much confidence.

Finally! the ultimate guide to the Provence

A must read if you want to go to the south of france Very very interesting guide
