The restaurant and hotel selections were 100% on target. However, Fodors has more interesting detail and is more user friendly.

Not a bad travel book, fairly complete, decent detail on many of the cities within the country, but the book does lack pictures, has a few in the front of the book. That would have made the book more complete and enjoyable. As the old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words."

I used this book to help plan our accomodations for our trip. It was more reliable than Tripadvisor or other websites with reviews that are quite conflicting. I was able to find a great deal in Paris thanks to a recomendation in the book.

I have always dreamed of going to France and I plan to next Fall or Spring. My only issue with Frommer's is the bulk and weight. Not something to carry around while you are walking all over Paris. I will be doing research and maping out where I want to go. I travel very light-no check in so I will take the map, numerous notes in a small pad and leave the guide back home. Otherwise, it is a very good guide and I recommend it.

This book is very readable with extensive coverage of all areas of France. It is typical of Frommers ... excellent, comprehensive, good for both budget and luxury travelers.
