This pamplet (too small to call a book) did give some usefull info on driving laws in France. However those I could have gotten on the internet for free. This does not have near enough info to qualify as a guide for anything. Indeed I feel downright cheated that I payed more than a dollar or two for this.

Get a real guide, this thing is near useless.

We are just wrapping up 5 weeks in France. We bought this book before we came, and took a great deal of time to study it. What a waste! It is so inaccurate, and filled with very odd info. For example, it says that horns are used "only for emergencies", and you will get a ticket if you use your. Well, within 2 minutes on the road, we started hearing horns for all the usual things, like: "Hey, the light's green, GO!" or "Excuse me, but I have the right of way." Signs are misrepresented. And the layout is not at all conducive to a quick lookup while driving.

This book was a good idea, but poorly executed. Don't buy it.

Oro Strandoo's guide, Essential Driving Guide for France is an excellent source of routings and itineraries, points of interest and other pertinent information. This guide is a must have if you really want to see France. The maps are clear and easy to read and his suggestions are to the point. Patsy and Gerry Donegan, Oro Valley, Arizona
