4.0 out of 5 stars FROMMER AS USUAL, April 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Frommer's Provence & The French Reviera, 1/E (Paperback)

TYPICAL FROMMER GUIDEBOOK-EASY TO READ...RECOMMENDS RESTAURANTS AND HOTELS, THEREFORE LISTS ARE INCOMPLETE AS THEY DO NOT REVIEW IN A NEGATIVE MANNER. MAPS ARE VERY CLEAR, AND ATTRACTIONS ARE WELL DESCRIBED. ]

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait to see Provence, February 13, 2008

By	Laura Herman - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Frommer's Provence & the Riviera (Frommer's Complete) (Paperback)

I have always loved the Frommer's Guides and this one is no disappointment. Very useful information, with plenty of listings of restaurants, hotels, and attractions which coem in handy in a guide book. Other guide books do not have nearly as much information. So I highly recommend this one - short & sweet!
