South of France, 8th (Country & Regional Guides - Cadogan)

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 After finding too much out of date information in a "new" Lonely Planet I don't trust what I read there.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.

A Country in the Moon : Travels in Search of the Heart of Poland

Review

‘Erudite, humbling and rhapsodic A… No thinking traveller interested in Poland should overlook this essential book.’ Guardian’Moran is a sensitive, intelligent companion, as able to capture the rapacious spirit and chaotic conditions of modern Poland as he is the mournful, savage ghosts of its past. The result is moving and absorbing’ Metro ‘A Country in the Moon is literary travel writing at its best: elegiac, informative and profound. It’s probably the best travel book I will read this year.’ Wanderlust’A well-crafted, spirited and original polonaise, triumphantly balancing humour with scholarship’ Observer’There is so much to admire in this well-researched and hugely entertaining book, and so much to learnA…if you fancy elegant erudition, A Country in the Moon is a three-star feast’ – Time Out
–This text refers to the

Paperback
edition.



Product Description

Honouring a deathbed pledge to his uncle, Michael Moran set out to travel the length and breadth of Poland in order to get an up-close perspective of the country. In this poignant and insightful account, he gives an insider’s view of a country set on a path of wrenching change while simultaneously confronting ghosts from the wartime and communist past. In chronicling the resurrection of the nation from war and the Holocaust, Moran paints a portrait of cities lost and gained, monumental castles, primeval forests, and picturesque landscape gardens among the finest yet least-known in Europe. This captivating journey into the heart of Poland is a timely and brilliant celebration of the return to the European fold of a valiant and richly cultured nation.

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

Amazon.com Review

From Antarctica to Zimbabwe, if you’re going there, chances are Lonely Planet has been there first. With a pithy and matter-of-fact writing style, these guides are guaranteed to calm the nerves of first-time world travelers, while still listing off-the-beaten-path finds sure to thrill even the most jaded globetrotters. Lonely Planet has been perfecting its guidebooks for nearly 30 years and as a result, has the experience and know-how similar to an older sibling’s “been there” advice. The original backpacker’s bible, the LP series has recently widened its reach. While still giving insights for the low-budget traveler, the books now list a wide range of accommodations and itineraries for those with less time than money.

Explore the riches of Italy with Lonely Planet’s essential guide. Featuring a special color feature on Italian art and architecture, this book also contains insider’s advice on the best pasta and gelati; skiing and trekking information, notes on history, culture and current politics; as well as practical food and accommodation suggestions for every budget. Delightful sidebars add insight into the culture, with details on everything from gladiators to mushroom picking. –Kathryn True
