Review

‘Standouts these days are Cadogan Guides…sophisticated, beautifully written’ – American Bookseller
 
‘Understated, humorous writing’ – New York Daily New

‘Information is wide-ranging and detailed . . . useful tips on finding the cleanest beaches and best vineyards’- The Times (UK)





Product Description

The South of France is a legendary holiday region: the classic luxury destination where everyone longs to be. In this fully updated and revised edition, Cadogan weaves through the landscapes that inspired Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse and Renoir, covering a swathe of the country from the Alps to the Pyrenees. Authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, who have lived in France for many years, get to the heart of the region. They reveal the peaceful lavender fields and rolling hills of Provence, and explore its contrasting cities: the salty, bustling port of Marseilles and the elegant university town of Aix-en-Provence. The guide also covers the glamorous French Riviera, where the Cannes film festival is held each year and dukes and millionaires gamble in the casinos of Monaco. Now fully redesigned, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings, along with color photographs and maps. The guide also offers an unsurpassed commentary on the world-renowned wine regions of the Rhône, Orange, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.

Best guide to southern France, August 21, 2008

I've owned a number of guide books for southern France and examined many more and this is the one I would pick if I could only take one. Rick Steves Provence is good but does not completely cover Provence. After finding too much out of date information in a "new" Lonely Planet I don't trust what I read there. Michelin Green Guide contains valuable information but the organization is troublesome. When I travel to other places I'll look at the guides by Facaros and Pauls first.

Bay of Naples & Southern Italy, 6th (Country & Regional Guides - Cadogan)

Review

“One of our favorite travel series, Cadogan Guides are British imports with a distinct personality. Authors have lived and traveled for years in the regions they cover and bring an in-depth knowledge of local history and culture to their guides.”
www.travellersbookstore.com

“Overall the top marks go to Cadogan.”–BBC Radio 4 (UK)

“Amazingly well updated and researched.”–The Times (UK)



Product Description

This guide has it all: Italy’s most desirable vacation destination is the subject of one of Cadogan’s bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. Along with color photographs and maps, this new edition contains the most up-to-the-minute practical information and listings. Cadogan explores the home of pizza, seeking out the pleasures of chic Positano and the Amalfi Coast, where Mount Vesuvius towers over the fantasy garden frescoes of Pompeii; the ravishing landscape of Capri; and vibrant Naples, with its world-famous restaurants and nightlife. Aside from the bright lights of the islands and the coast, the guide covers the inland regions of Southern Italy casual tourists rarely see: the mountain plateaux of rugged Calabria, Puglia, with its flavors of Greece and Africa, and remote Basilicata, the province of Matera, made a World Heritage Site for its astonishing neighborhoods of cave homes.

South of France, 7th (Country & Regional Guides - Cadogan)

Product Description

Discover the unspoilt beauty of France’s most legendary regions as well as the more famous hot-spots. From the glamour of St. Tropez to the tranquil hills of Provence, this guide explores the whole area with wit, insight, and passion.



From the Back Cover

Mediterranean France arouses the senses with its heady cocktail of light and color, and the Cadogan guide serves it up with verve. It’s all here: the arty, chic Riviera, sunny Provencal villages perches, the serene Canal du Midi, dramatic Roman ruins, cloud-topped Cathar castles, the mysterious Camargue with its white horses, Catalan southern Roussillon, and the sublime landscapes that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne, Dufy and Matisse – all scented by a sun-warmed bouquet of lavender, violet, mimosa, lemon and wine. Dynamic cities such as Nice, Marseille, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan contrast with the serenity of rural Herault, with mountain wildernesses and national parks, and there are markets to explore and restaurants to rival Paris’s finest.
Inside you will find:

* Practical travel advice
* Over 600 hotels, chambres d’hote and auberges
* Over 450 restaurants, bars, brasseries and cafes
* 60 maps and town plans
* color touring-map section
* stunning color photography
* regional wines: where to taste and where to buy
