The Illustrated Guide to France is a beautiful, expertly researched examination of the best the country has to offer--whether that be history, culture, architecture, gastronomy, natural or man-made phenomena or simply the sheer charm and beauty of an isolated hill village or a sun-lit coastline. In each of the 16 designated regions of France, areas have been selected that offer a wide variety of interest. These areas are illustrated with an extract from the Michelin 1:200,000 map of France and information is given about what to do and look out for within the area. There is also a special section devoted to Paris plus feature spreads which highlight particular aspects of a region, such as the Roman influence in Provence or the Beaujolais vineyards.
