Customer Reviews
User popularity level:  out of 5 stars

Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Phew
If your renting a car and traveling this book really helped. It gives you for example the parking places in Aix and roads to use-its right on. The sites it picked are well thought out and "no-nonsense".
I think its worth the weight during the trip we took.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - Better Maps, Please!
The content reflected a great appreciation of this part of France, and the general route information very useful, photos attractive and representational, but I found the format somewhat awkward. Some of the sidebar infomation would have better been included in the text, e.g. specific driving instructions within towns. The maps were weakest feature; some of the route maps were so cluttered that I needed a detailed road map to make sense of the proposed route.



Rated by buyers 3 out of 5 stars - YET TO PUT INTO PRACTICE
As I have not yet had a chance to use this book as it was intended this review will be somewhat useless. But upon reading through and choosing the routes I would like to take later in the year it has been very beneficial especially after purchase of a map of the area also



Rated by buyers 5 out of 5 stars - Our Most-Used Source
This book is worth the price and the last-minute shipping that we needed to get it to us before our flight to France. We referred to it constantly. We used it to select which drives to take on a given day, and it is of great value here. Readers may disagree with some of the star-ratings on certain sites (and sights), but this is to be expected and one should calibrate oneself against the views of the author. For example, we would rate Aix-en-Provence lower, Nimes lower, and the upper Vaucluse in general higher. Once you see where your tastes lie (Roman ruins more interesting than Vacqueyras tasting?) then you will know how to use the book to its best advantage. Highly recommended.
