Few travelers can resist visiting France---the epitome of picture-book Europe---where enticing attractions range from Loire Valley chateaus and beautiful Provencal villages to lace-curtained Burgundy bistros and Paris?s Louvre. Over 2.5 million Americans visited France in 2005, up 6% from 2004, indicating Americans continue to be smitten with the country.

? New, magazine-style illustrated features that provide the lowdown on many French attractions, including ?Gilt Trip: A Tour of Versailles?; ?Lyon: France?s Culinary Cauldron ?; and ?Champagne Uncorked.?
? Listings for many towns and villages now include essential sections on bus and train schedules.
? Chapter-opener pages feature annotated maps and ?Planner Pages,? with in-the-know tips from experts on how travelers can make the most of their time.
? Two brand-new chapters put the spotlight on a pair of France?s most irresistible destinations: the Dordogne region and the Bordeaux wine country.
? 8-page color insert.

How Fodors as grown! February 17, 2008 13 out of 13 found this review helpful
I have the Fodors book on France from 1993 (interestingly enough the same chateau on the cover! different angle though..) and the difference in 15 years is nothing short of amazing! The reviews, itineraries,maps, the explanations, the sidebars on wine-tasting, art, etc... in short, everything - has been embellished, polished, perked up, smoothed, increased dramatically and all to the good. Fodors used to be VERY good at reviews of hotels and dining but VERY short on historical interest and background. Well...not any more. This really is the only volume you will need when you go to France, and is a lot of fun to just go through if you are interested at all in the history, art, society and culture of the country - even if you are not planning a trip to France soon. Fodors has done everything right!
