The food, the art, the storied romance. France is a destination that stays with its visitors forever, and 365 Days in France captures the reasons why. Tree-lined allées that lead to storybook châteaux. Café menus scrawled on chalkboards. Buttons of local cheese with fresh crusty baguettes. The lavender fields of Provence. The glittering Côte d'Azur, the vineyards, a chair in the Luxembourg Gardens, stone farmhouses, the sense of history that permeates every inch of the land. Filled with hundreds of full-color photographs and evocative text by the French food and culture writer Patricia Wells, this calendar is a spirited tribute to France—Paris to Herault, Bouches-du-Rhône to the Loire Valley.

4.0 out of 5 stars
My favorite wall calendar,
By Sheri Richardson (Formerly San Jose, CA US, now in the Wilds of OR US) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 365 Days in France Calendar 2007 (Calendar)
For many years now, this calendar has served me well. One month spans two oversized pages and focuses on a particular region in France (pinpointed on a small outline map), and never the same from one year to the next. Wells's text is brief but charming. The cover accurately illustrates the typical assortment of Rothfeld's photographs -- in size, number, and breadth of topic -- that adorn each and every month. Still, generous room is allotted each day for noting appointments, recitals, and what have you. Holidays span US, UK, Canada, and Australia, along with major Christian and Hebrew holy days. Thumbnails of the preceding and following months are included. One star off for the lack of moon phases.
Regions covered for 2007: January, N. Coast of Brittany February, Ile de France March, Belle-Ile-en-Mer April, Loir-et-Cher May, Paris June, Indre-et-Loire July, Burgundy August, Pays Basque September, Le Bassin October, Vaucluse November, Bouches-du-Rhône December, Finistere

Almost what I have expected,
By
This review is from: 365 Days in France Calendar 2007 (Calendar)
I thought at the calendar will be a day to day type. But it wasn't. The comments are almost without notes about some important/famous/historical persons in French history. Calendar is introducing mostly the north and south part of France (only one month is Paris)...And there is so so little of French words..Next year, I will not order this one, even for the good pictures. No way.
