 Nice and the French Riviera September 2, 2008
Not impressed with this guide book. The authors give a brief synopsis of the travel locations and it is up to the reader to decide if they want to attend. I prefer to read an opinion of a hotel, restaurant, and tourist area rather than read a brief overview. I left my guide book in the hotel.

This book is obviously aimed at young, hip readers, interested in "in" places and night life. I did not find it as helpful for "senior" travelers such as I.

 not so useful in traveling with children. September 2, 2007
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I had taken out the prior version of this book from the library and was pleased to see that there was a 2007 updated version to read. However, in the prior version there was much more specifically directed toward traveling with kids. In this version, most of that was eliminated, and I was bummed not to have that pointed out. While the color pictures are beautiful in the front of the book, more maps and more detail about traveling would have been more useful to me, rather than looking at fields of lavendar. I think a couple driving around for 3 weeks in Provence would have found it really useful. For our 1 week trip with three kids, I found I just didn't use the book very much.
The information on internet cafes was very useful as was the entrance fee and time information to exhibits, etc.
Useful and thorough review June 9, 2007
contains very useful information. However, the authors only covers major cities and tourist attractions, and ignore many beautiful villages and towns in country side. For this reason, I recommend reading other guide books and travel essays.
