4.0 out of 5 stars
Not a guide as much as a cute little book,
This review is from: Provence: Pocket Guide (Berlitz Pocket Guides) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a good book if you dream of going to Provence or if you've been and you're looking for something to remind you of the trip. However, if you're looking for a guide book that'll actually get you through Provence, this one lacks the depth you'll need... you'd be better off getting one of the bigger Let's Go or Fodor's guides.
