Vacances Brittany: The French on France

Rating:
Summary: Glossy but frustrating guidebook
Review: This guide looks attractive, but is of little use to the first-time traveller to Brittany. The layout is frustrating and the most important information is too brief. Take beaches for example (with 3 coasts to choose from, most families would like to know where the best beaches are, which are safe for young families, whether they are sand or pebble, etc.) or the province's many wonderful historic castles and monuments, many of which are only given a cursory mention.
Space is taken up instead with an over-flowery text, which too obviously reads as translated French. We came back frustrated that we had probably missed many great places!
