The Cathar Way: A Walker’s Guide to the Sentier Cathare, a Trail Linking Cathar Castles in Southern France (Cicerone Guide) [ILLUSTRATED] (Paperback)
June 12, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Travel France Guides
Review
This handy guide has clear instructions for the stages of the trail along with points of interest, maps and an accommodation listing. In keeping with Cicerone’s walking series, the guide is well laid out with colour photographs and an easily digestible insight into the history of the area. Indispensible for walkers visiting the area. Rating 9/10. France Magazine, August 2006
Product Description
The Cathar Way – the Sentier Cathare – is a popular, well-waymarked trail which links several of the world-famous ‘Cathar castles’ of south-west France. A challenging, fascinating and rewarding route, it is not an arduous mountain trek. The trail runs for about 250 kilometres, from the Mediterranean coast, westward to the historic town of Foix. It can be walked in two weeks or less by anyone who is well-equipped and moderately fit. Good-quality accommodation is available at regular intervals along the entire length of the trail. The trail traverses the dramatic foothills of the Pyrenees mountains, a beautiful countryside which enjoys plenty of sunshine and which is rich in wildlife. The highlights of the Cathar Way are the ‘castles in the sky’ like Queribus, Peyrepertuse and Montsegur. These incredible medieval fortifications will forever be associated with the ill-fated Cathar ‘heresy’, which was brutally suppressed in the thirteenth century.

Review
‘Don’t leave home without STREETWISE.’ –The New York Times
‘STREETWISE is an absolute travel essential.’ –Travel + Leisure Magazine `
‘In a strange city, your sense of direction is only as good as the map in your hands. The best maps to carry are published by STREETWISE.’ –Chicago Daily Herald
Product Description
Streetwise Zurich Map – Laminated City Center Street Map of Zurich, Switzerland – Folding pocket size travel map with integrated metro map featuring tram, bus, train, cable car lines & stations
This map covers the following areas:
Main Zurich Map 1:10,000
Zurich Area Map 1:77,000
Zurich City Metro Map
Zurich is a banker’s paradise. This is the financial capital of Switzerland, and in turn the world. Numbered accounts and absolute secrecy may be more difficult to find these days, but financial discretion is still the order of the day in this monetary mega city. Walking around the streets of Zurich, you find perfectly manicured townhouses with thick doors featuring cryptic names on bronze plaques. These are the money handlers of the twenty first century. Once it was imperative to physically sit on hoards of gold, but now you don’t need much more than a computer and a network to control a fortune. That doesn’t mean that the hoards of gold aren’t still tucked away, it just means that there are more companies behind thick doors moving it around figuratively.
Zurich therefore is a bit deceptive. It’s so clean and manageable; you wouldn’t think that so much business takes place here. The Old Town, made up of tiny cobblestone pedestrian streets, straddles the Limmat River. Houses line the streets with retail or restaurants on the ground floor and apartments above, giving the area life even after the shops close. Each of these neighborhoods are clustered around one of the major churches in the city: Grossemunster, with it’s iconic twin spires; Fraumunster, with the Marc Chagall stained glass windows; and St Peters, the oldest church in Zurich displaying the largest clock face in Europe.
The city sits at the base of Lake Zurich (Zürichsee) and directions are based on the right side or left side of the river, based on having your back to the lake. On the left side along the river are the streets of Schipfe and Storchen, both filled with trendy upscale shops and cafes. Bahnhofstrasse is the main shopping street in town and it stretches from the lake up to the train station. On the right side of the river is Neiderdorf Strasse, a younger hipper street filled with funky boutiques, inexpensive restaurants and clubs. Less expensive hotels are found hidden in the small alleys that lead away from the river, but you might want to stay in another section of town if you have a concern about late night noise.
One of the nicest things to do in Zurich is to take an evening stroll along the lake. The promenade that runs from Bellevue Plaza along Uto Quai and then continues on Seefeld Quai is lovely in warm weather. Pass the Johann Jacobs Museum, Le Corbusier’s Hans Weber Haus, the Museum Bellerive, and wander through the China Garden maybe stopping for a cool drink or an ice cream.

Filed under Travel Italy Guides
Product Description
Enjoy a tour of Italy through a child’s scrapbook. Whether you are planning to travel abroad with your children or simply to expose them to foreign countries, Ciao Bambino! will provide a starting point. Your children will discover differences and similarities between Italy and home, while sharing a young boy’s vacation to Italy with his teddy bear companion. Bonus, you may learn a few Italian words and novelties on the adventure. Pronunciation and translation guide provided at the back of the book.
From the Author
With a four year old son and a one year old daughter, my personal goal was to write a book for preschoolers that exposed them to Italian language and cultural novelties, but was more than another picture dictionary. It had to be fun and engage the preschooler with familiar things from home, while sharing novelties from another country. Beautifully illustrated in original watercolor art, the 36 page book shares a tour of Italy through a child’s scrapbook. Throughout the fictional story, the young boy and his teddy bear travel companion share their travel adventure, and teach twenty five Italian words along the way. Fantastico!

Review
“These useful guides are highly recommended…”
Product Description
Nestled in the heart of Europe, Switzerland is a feast for the eyes, with azure-blue lakes that shine brilliantly against the greenest slopes of the surrounding Alps. Its picturesque villages and chic towns are accessible via high-speed trains, which whisk travelers around at amazing speeds, though many opt to travel by longboat on some of the country’s tranquil waterways. It is one of the world’s most advanced industrialized nations, yet its towns and cities are incredibly clean. It also has the distinction of being one of the oldest democracies. Part-time Swiss resident Kimberly Rinker has lived and worked here for years. She tells of little-known attractions as well as major tourist draws and everything in-between. Color photos.

Quiet Corners of Paris (Hardcover)
June 8, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Travel France Guides
Review
“To discover lesser-known quarters of the City of Light, consult Quiet Corners of Paris… This illustrated handbook takes you to often-overlooked parts of the city: its hidden villas, winding lanes, cobblestone courtyards and Renaissance fountains.” –Frank Wagner, Copley News Service
“Yes, noisy, bustling Paris has its quiet corners, and this attractive book describes them in loving detail. Most of the places mentioned here are out of doors and open to the public. The places range from museum courtyards and royal gardens to 15th Century cloisters and tiny passageways to the back streets and lanes of the various neighborhoods. Some famous sites are here (Luxembourg Gardens) but so are unknown treasures such as the Irish Cultural Center, housed in a townhouse used by the Irish Catholic collegiate community since 1775, or Paris’ lesser-known islands. And few places are as quiet as the city’s evocative cemeteries.” -The Chicago Tribune
“Many tour books promise to deliver “secrets” and never do. This one does. Many times…More than 80 suggestions. All very high on my list of “musts” the next time I find myself in Paris with a good book, a fresh cigar, a few hours to kill–and no desire to be anywhere near the Mona Lisa.” -Headbutler
“This small new York publisher is producing some of the most innovative, beautiful and rewarding guidebooks on the market.” –Minneapolis Star Tribune
“The Little Bookroom…wants travelers to slow down. They’ve carved themselves a niche in the over-crowded travel book industry by thinking small with titles that define the character of a city.” –The Pittsburgh Tribune
“For pocket-sized, covetable books, turn to The Little Bookroom.” –Vogue [UK]
Product Description
More than eighty of the loveliest, most tranquil, and sometimes hidden places in Paris are celebrated in this charming guidebook
Quiet Corners of Paris is a beautifully illustrated peek into eighty-one often overlooked, always beautiful, locales: hidden villas, winding lanes, little-known 19th-century passages, serene gardens, and cobblestone courtyards. Some of the places have breathtaking views, others are filled with historic and architectural details, from stone archways, garden follies, boxwood mazes, ornamental statuary, stained glass, and Renaissance fountains. Follow a stone path under a trellis of blossoms or wander through a gate to discoverÉ

Germany Pocket Adventures (Adventure Guide to Germany (Pocket)) (Hunter Travel Guides Pocket Adventures) (Paperback)
June 8, 2009 by Destination Guide
Filed under Travel Germany Guides
Product Description
The author, a travel journalist, was born and lives in Germany. Covers every part of the country, from Berlin to Dresden, the Black Forest to Hamburg, Cologne, Munich and Bavaria – with the kind of inside detail that only a resident can provide. Hundreds of small towns are barely changed from the Middle Ages. We visit the best ones. The author provides innumerable tips on special discounts available for travelers (some 20 on train and bus travel alone) and tells how to save on gas (cheapest on Mondays, most expensive on Wednesdays), as well as virtually everything else, with inside information on getting the best hotel rooms at the best prices, the best deals and the best food at restaurants. For every area of the country, full information is supplied on how to get around, the best shopping, the foods and the recommended places to eat, where to stay, from charming guesthouses, hostels and campsites, on up to the most luxurious hotels. Includes town and country walks, cycling, fishing, canoeing & kayaking, Rhine cruises, wine tours, concerts and other cultural events – it’s all here! As a Pocket Adventure Guide, it shows you how to experience everthing the country offers more intensely and directly than most travelers know how to do – seeing the place close-up through adventures, both cultural and physical, including in-depth encounters with the people. Other guides lack our level of detail, our adventure perspective and our emphasis on direct experience of the country. We provide an insider’s knowledge that you won’t find in other guides.
