Praised in such wonderfully readable books as Peter Mayle's "A Year in Provence", this lovely region of France offers much to the traveler. This guide includes descriptions of the region's hundreds of varied attractions, three summary maps highlighting the principal sights, more than 130 color photos, and 80 detailed maps.

the grand daddy of french travel books,

This review is from: Michelin Green Guide: Provence (Michelin Green Guide: Provence English Edition) (Paperback)
I think you have to have a copy of the Green Guide in order to travel in Provence -- every tourist I saw on a recent trip had a copy. The reason for it is that the Michelin guides contain more detailed cultural and historical information, and better maps, than any other guides. They are a little dry though, so I really enjoyed mixing the Michelin with the guides from Cadogan. The two provide a good mix of serious and irreverent, while both ensure that you get to the really fascinating sites.

This review is from: Michelin Green Guide: Provence, 1991/375 (Green Guides) (Paperback)
I was in Provence in 1970 and had the green book for guidance. The historical contents of that issue were more complete and detailed than this issue. I will either go through my drawers to find that one or look for earlier issues.

This review is from: Micheline LE GUIDE VERT Provence, 5e (Paperback)
If you are interested in finding out about where to stay or where to eat in the delightful area of Provence, skip this book. It is filled with cultural and historical information but contains absolutely nothing relevant to someone traveling in France. This book is better suited for someone who is interested in the history behind some of the regional sights. There are essentially no practical facts or travel tips included. After perusing it, I didn't even take it on my trip. In addition, the maps in this book are in no way a substitute for the maps published separately by Michelin, especially if you are planning to rent a car. I strongly recommend Frommer's Guide instead supplemented by Michelin maps. My Green Guide is on its way back to Amazon!
