Travel to Provence
The book contains historic and cultural information as well as information on hotels, restaurants, and shopping. We've been very pleasantly surprised by the amount of detail on the cities and the beautiful pictures in this book on Provence.

We hope to visit some vineyards in the area and there is an itineray included, however, it doesn't give the "specific" locations - but maybe that isn't possible.

Although we usually don't travel with guidebooks, we are definitely planning on taking this one along with us! .

Good Introduction to Provence but Lacks Specific Detail
But once there we discovered the book lacked sufficient specific detail about the nearby vilages and town we wanted to visit. The book was invaluable in assisting us determine what city to home port in during our one-week visit to Provence -- Avignon. We suspected as much beforehand and purchased other travel guides to the region and between all of them, developed a decent undertsanding of the sites and places to visit. Don't forget to purchase the Michelin map titled "Provence, Cote d'Azur" (No. 582 Regional).

Provence comes to life!
This book has it all. . colorful photos, lots of interesting & historical background. . . a very good book if you're planning a visit to this region. Highly recommended.
