3.0 out of 5 stars
Why isn't all of Languedoc-Roussillon here?,
By Julesagogo (Michigan, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Languedoc, Roussillon, Tarn Gorges (Michelin Green Guides) (Paperback)
Michelin's guides are a five-star resource for travel information, from hotels and restaurants to attractions and how to get there. This guide is no exception, containing all the practical info you'd expect from Michelin, plus maps and some color pictures. The alphabetical listing of sites makes information easy to find. As you'd expect from a guide published by a tire company, the Michelin series seems best suited to car travel. I appreciate the star ratings of cities and attractions (1 star = "interesting", 3 starts = "highly recommended"), which help you determine whether a detour is warranted, or helps you meander your way through the countryside on a day of exploring.I'm annoyed with this guide, however, because even though the title includes the names "Languedoc" and "Roussillon", it is NOT a guide to the entire French region known as Languedoc-Roussillon. Rather, it includes parts of Languedoc-Roussillon and parts of the adjacent region of Midi-Pyrenees. I bought it in preparation for a stay in Nimes, which is in the Gard department of Languedoc-Rousillon. Inexplicably, information about the Gard is found in the Michelin "Provence" guide, even though the Gard is not in fact part of Provence. So, if you're wanting to purchase a Michelin guide for information about a particular city or region, use the "Look Inside" feature to review the Table of Contents before you buy!

Still the best,
By Blue in Washington "Barry Ballow" (Washington, DC United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)
This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Languedoc Roussillon Tarn Gorges (Michelin Green Guide: Languedoc, Roussillon, Tarn Gorges English Edition) (Paperback)
I like the new (relatively) size of the Michelin guides, including this one for Languedoc/Rousillon. The list of towns and cities worth seeing is excellent and I also liked the inclusion of some places to eat and sleep. You can't beat the Michelin guides for information about the rural and provincial areas of France and other countries. The only changes I'd like to see are more information about restaurants and a larger--fold out--map of the subject region. Since Michelin is in the business of selling maps and guides, I doubt that they will undercut their other products with that kind of innovation.In any event, the green guide is the best planning tool and trip guide you can have.

Helpful Trip Planning,

This review is from: Michelin the Green Guide Languedoc Roussillon Tarn Gorges (Michelin Green Guide: Languedoc, Roussillon, Tarn Gorges English Edition) (Paperback)
We are renting a house in the Languedoc region of France and I found, as always, the Michelin Green Guide to be extremely helpful. Each grandchild has been given an area to research and the excitement is now building! Even some of the very smallest towns are included. We happily welcome the lodging and restaurant recommendations - something we haven't always found in the Green Guides.
