Rough Guide made two wonderful trips possible,
By
This review is from: The Rough Guide to Dordogne & the Lot 1 (Rough Guide Mini Guides) (Paperback)
I used a 2004(?) version of the book to plan two fabulous trips to the Dordogne, one in 2005, the other in 2008. Both times I traveled with Cyclomundo on bicycle tours of the region, but on the second trip I planned our itinerary. The hotel, restaurant and logistical info from Rough Guide was spot-on. The amount of info was impressive, yet the book was eminently readable; In fact, my copy is almost worn out from reading it at home while I plan the next trip! Furthermore, the tone--direct but casual-- was to my liking. This book is a winner.
