Description:
Other guidebooks will tell you where to eat, where to sleep, and what to see, but The Riches of France is the guidebook for those travelers who were born to shop. Looking for handmade paper? Try Auvergne. Glasswork? Look no further than Lorraine. Wine? The Loire Valley is the place to go. Author Maribeth Clemente knows both her bargains and her geography and her book is designed to take the guesswork out of shopping. In deciding what regions and products to feature, Clemente was guided by "the idea that each purchase should reflect an important dimension or flavor of the region." She covers everything from French "classics" such as Limoges china to local crafts to antiques to wine--in short, anything France does well is likely to show up in the pages of this book, be it fancy linen or homemade honey. So if you're planning on bringing home a little bit of France the next time you go, take The Riches of France with you, and let your fingers do the walking through its information-packed pages.
