Customer Reviews

Steves' Provence - Perfect!

Rick Steves' video on Provence and the Frence Riviera is an oldy but goody. The scenery speaks for itself and his personal touch is just the thing to make this a classic.

Not just a "nice to have" ---it's a "NEED to have"

If you enjoy independent European travel, then a Rick Steves book is for you. His advance work saves both time and money and we've used his books for Spain, Italy and France. We are heading to Ireland and Provence/Cote d'Azur in May and Rick Steves paves the way.

Everything you expected & more!

This book proved an invaluable tool whilst my mom and I were in the Cote d'Azur. It gave excellent information regarding buses (including numbers and cost) and allowed us to travel easily between towns along the Cote d'Azur. Also included were locations of Travel Information offices where we were able to obtain additional bus schedules and maps. This is the only book you'll need for the Cote d'Azur. Maps, tips, walking tours, all excellent!

Rick Steves rocks!

I used this on my honeymoon in France. These are the best travel guides around!

The only guidebook we took!

We just got back from a week in Provence. We used several restaurant reviews, two lodging reviews and several museum tours. In our experience the information and maps were very accurate and concise.
