Michelin 2004 Red Guide France (Michelin Red Guide: France, 2004)

Rating:
Summary: Of course it's in French!
Review: There's nothing better to have along if you're traveling in France, especially if you're driving and want to find out of the way places, than the Red Guide. It's well known for listing all the posh restaurants and hotels, but there's also a wealth of information in this volume for those who travel closer to the ground. There are many city maps, some quite extensive, and the entry for every town, no matter the size, gives the number of inhabitants, the mileage to other cities in the area and to Paris. There are also numerous listings for hotels and restaurants that even a budget traveler can use. In the front of the book there's an extensive section in English that explains the symbols. Master them and you can easily find a hotel with the amenities you want, a restaurant with a good affordable meal and and you won't be lost when you get there. Best of all, use it and you'll learn some French!

Summary: A Classic, the Best Advice on France
Review: This book is a work of art, it features reviews and information on hotels and restaurants plus very detailed maps of cites. You don't have to worry about these reviews, Michelin has been doing this for over a 100 years. Yes, some of the information is in French, but don't worry the book is actually written to be intrepreted by a table of symbols. The only hard part might be understanding what the specialty of the house is...and not being a lover of sweetbreads or liver myself, you might want to figure out what it means in French anyway before you go. Not every restaurant has an English menu and how hard is it to look up a couple phrases in French? It will only help your trip. Okay- I had to respond to reviewer that gave this book a bad review... I am assuming that this is your first trip to France because if you had already been you would know the Red Guides, my best advise take another look. This book has not been the best resource for over 100 years for nothing.
