4.0 out of 5 stars
Info...liberally seasoned with author's high self-opinion,
This review is from: The Rough Guide Brittany & Normandy 8 (Rough Guide Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book in anticipation of visiting Normandy. On first glance, it looked ideal for my purposes (traveling alone with lots of time to meander). Once into the book, I saw that few of the towns have maps--even maps of cities'-centers would be helpful. More than that, though, was the condescending tone he used when discussing holy places (i.e., referring to the devotion to Saint Thèrése of Lisieux as "a cult"). The author's inflated sense of self was reflected in nearly every section of this book, and I soon relegated it to the bottom of my suitcase: I wanted information; not editorializing. For the rest of my trip, I did quite well with small town maps (free at any tourism office).
