En los últimos años ha vivido en Hidra (Grecia), dedicándose a explorar su tierra de acogida; a viajar a Francia para probar las ostras de la Bretaña y pasear por los pueblecitos que encumbran colinas provenzales; y a adentrarse en campos de lava, fiordos centelleantes y lenguas de glaciar en Islandia.

Stuart Butler pasaba los veranos haciendo surf en las playas del suroeste de Francia, hasta que un día descubrió que estaba tan enganchado a la región que se veía incapaz de abandonarla, y allí sigue. Sus viajes para Lonely Planet y una gran variedad de revistas internacionales de surf lo han llevado por toda Indonesia y más, desde playas de Yemen hasta las selvas costeras del Congo. Los resultados de sus viajes y sus fotografías aparecen con frecuencia en los medios internacionales del surf. Lleva una década escribiendo guías para Lonely Planet de varios destinos.

Great, but missing some areas

Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2015

We used to use LP as our travel bible. This year, we toyed with an e-book version of some other guidebook, but were not happy in experimenting with it, as it was hard to navigate on the fly and very fast while out and about, plus you can't see the screen in daylight on an IPad. So we went ahead and bought the book, and like all LP books, we were pretty pleased with it. However, we did spend a fair amount of time in smaller villages which had many charms and would be great places for American tourists to visit, but they were totally ignored by LP. We would have liked more details on more towns and villages in the Lot valley and also in Provence around Dragignan. These include the lovely towns of Tourtour (Village in the sky), Salernes (with a fabulous Ceramics Museum) and other places around there. We spent time there staying with family in Flayosc and highly recommend that area.

Encyclopedic; Difficult to prioritize sights.

Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2016

Verified Purchase

Just came back from 2 weeks in France - I preferred the Rick Steves series to use while wandering around a town:
Rick Steves' Provence & the French Riviera
Rick Steves France 2015 (though there's a 2016 version now: Rick Steves France 2016 )

Pros:
-covers more sights and cities/towns than Rick Steves, and sometimes in greater detail
-useful in looking up a destination for additional details
-Google Maps links, very nice

Cons:
-difficult to prioritize sights and weave together a cohesive experience after visiting somewhere (for example, this town is known for its ancient Roman ruins, which have been well preserved because it has been continuously inhabited for 800 years, etc. etc.)

Just what I needed

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2015

Verified Purchase

This Kindle e-book works just like a book. Interlinked indices and table of contents, cross reference material inside the body of the text, perfectly usable maps.I actually used this book on vacation ! True to Lonely Planet's excellent content, I has enough detailed information for finding neat little dining opportunities around Paris, and since I decided to buy this instead of the Kindle "Lonely Planet Paris", I also had information on Normandy, my other destination in France. It deserves a 5-star rating for content, but (this is a user-criticism) you need to use your bookmarking capability to the max in order to negotiate your way around this massive Kindle book, over 167 megabytes and a thousand pages ! Good job, Lonely Planet !

Shopping made Easy

but I have found better luck with those I've mentioned above

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2015

Verified Purchase

Lonely Planet guides are really well done. I prefer Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, and the Time Out guides because they're geared toward a somewhat younger, somewhat budget-minded, culturally hip traveler. When I was a student, I almost always bought the Let's Go or Time Out guides. Now that I'm in my 30's and traveling with a child, I prefer Lonely Planet and Rough Guide. Frommers and Fodors is also very popular, and maybe geared toward an older crowd (I'm not sure), but I have found better luck with those I've mentioned above. Rick Steve's is an excellent choice for those traveling to Europe, especially middle-age and senior travelers. From what I understand Moon Handbook are also excellent for all types of travelers, young and old, budget and lavish, etc. If you're unsure which to buy, I would go to a Barnes and Noble and pull all the guides on the city/country you're visiting, see which one you prefer (best font, most easily digestible, best narratives, best pictures, etc.) and then buy it online as it might be a bit cheaper.

Swiss Reviewer

Not the same level of quality as other Lonely Planet books...

Reviewed in the United States on May 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

A lot of errors in this book (you'll be lucky if you find a topic in the index with the correct page number cited). Also extremely vague and lacking basic information in many sections...for example, almost no detail provided on bus options in the "Getting Around" and "Getting There and Away" sections (see the chapter on Nice). In the Marseille chapter, doesn't tell you how to get from the train station to the airport (pretty vital detail). Feels like you're reading a bad rush job done to make a deadline.

great help in Lyon

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 17, 2015

Verified Purchase

I bought this guide for a recent trip to Lyon. It gives good information, but does not say a lot about the historic facts of the sights. I think the reason for that is that they decided to put the whole France guide into a single guide and thus, sacrificed some information. But other than that, it's great for finding places to visit, tips and how to get there!

A weighty tome

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 7, 2015

Verified Purchase

I don't usually buy Lonely Planet guides, as I much prefer the DK Eyewitness series, but unfortunately there isn't one for Alsace/Lorraine, so I gave this a try, along with a Michelin guide Yes, it's informative, but just too bulky at 800 grams (1lb 12 oz) and only 48 pages are devoted to the area I'm visiting, so I'm deliberating whether it should go with me or not, as I will be flying and using public transport while there. I will certainly make use of it in the future, especially with a trip to Nice planned in a few months, but I just wish it was lighter!
