The first edition of the "Time Out South of France Guide" gives you the insider's view of Le Midi, from the wide open spaces of the Camargue to the glitz of the Riviera. With colour photographs throughout and 24 pages of regional and city maps, the guide offers a lively, informed account of the history and culture of the South and picks out the best places to eat, sleep, shop, party and work that tan. The "South of France Guide" includes: comprehensive area-by-area round-ups, each with a critical selection of sights, museums, hotels, restaurants and bars; extensive arts and entertainment information, with a complete calendar of the major festivals; gourmet tips on Provencal food and wine - an eating-out overview, vineyards to visit and the definitive recipe for bouillabaisse; where to find the landscapes that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne; and how to blag your way into the Cannes Film Festival, and where to enjoy soccer in Marseille or "socca" in Nice. And all with full details of opening times, prices and transport.

Very up-to-date information,
By
This review is from: Time Out South of France 2 (Paperback)
This guide has really up-to-date information. In addition to quoting all prices in Euros, it also has updated hours for major attractions. It's very useful when going to the Cote d'Azure in off-peak seasons, because you would want to know when the attractions are closed. This guide also has extensive public transportation information, so if you don't rent a car, you will want to have this guide in your hand. The only complaint I have is that the book could use more maps (I strongly recommend getting a comprehensive map for the region you are going). For example, it talks about the village Eze between Nice and Monaco, but then the train only stops at Eze-sur-Mer, which is not on any maps, so you don't know if the two places are close enough to walk or not. Or, it talks about tourist offices in the various towns, and lists the addresses, but there's no map of the town so you can't find those tourist offices. etc.Overall, it's a good guidebook.
