Five long-time residents of France have here combined their talents to compress the highlights of that nation into one, 256-page volume: Paris, Normandy, The Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera. Since most visitors confine their trips to three-or-so of these five areas, and rarely visit other lesser parts of France, this compact book will be regarded as just the right thing, a fortunate purchase. Our authors are French enthusiasts, and share Thomas Jefferson's belief that "Every man has two countries, his own and France".

Written by outspoken, authoritative experts, Frommer’s Italy 2015 shows travelers how to experience the country the way the locals do. This classic Frommers series includes exact prices; candid reviews of the best restaurants, attractions and hotels in every price range (from hostels to guest-accepting palazzos); and dozens of detailed maps. We also include advice the tourist board wouldn’t approve of: which sites to skip, how to avoid the crowds, and how to stretch your travel budget further, whether you’re on a lavish honeymoon or backpacking through The Boot. To La Dolce Vita!

It was Thomas Jefferson who reputedly said that "every man has two countries, his own and France". The five authors of our Easy Guide to that country (each dealing with the area of their specialty) obviously share Mr. Jefferson's viewpoint, so heartfelt and positive is their reaction to the major highlights of France and the single best options for lodgings, meals, sightseeing, shopping, and more. Like all of Frommer's guides, the emphasis here is on preferences, the strong opinions of each author, the factually-based recommendations they make, in a 288-page easy-to-use book that does not overwhelm with unnecessary locations, but with Paris, Normandy, the Loire Valley, Provence and the French Riviera.

Take the guesswork out of vacation planning. Frommer’s hires only seasoned experts, journalists who live in France either full-time or part-time, which means their advice doesn’t have to be second-guessed. It’s savvy, dependable, and not based on one or two short trips to France, but on a lifetime of exploration. They offer a detail- and tip-rich commentary on France’s iconic sights, and will introduce you to restaurants, off-the-beaten-path attractions, and shops that few tourists know to visit. So whether you’re going to be castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, skiing the French Alps, lounging on the sands of the French Riviera, tippling at Bordeaux wineries, or taking Paris by storm, this book is for you. Vive La France! 
 Frommer’s France contains:
 *Dozens of stunning, full-color photos throughout
 *Helpful maps, including a fully-detachable fold-out map
 *Strategic itineraries, including for families and weeklong stays, so you can make the most of your time 
 *Authentic experiences to help you appreciate French culture, cuisine, historic sights and customs like a local 
 *Candid reviews of the best restaurants, attractions, tours, shops, and experiences―and advice on the ones not worth your time and money
 *Accurate, up-to-date info on transportation, useful websites, costs, telephone numbers, and more 
 *Budget-planning help with the lowdown on prices and ways to save money, whether you’re traveling on a shoestring or in the lap of luxury 
 About Frommer’s: There’s a reason that Frommer’s has been the most trusted name in travel for more than sixty years. Arthur Frommer created the best-selling guide series in 1957 to help American servicemen fulfill their dreams of travel in Europe, and since then, we have published thousands of titles became a household name helping millions upon millions of people realize their own dreams of seeing our planet. Travel is easy with Frommer’s.

My Family and Other Enemies is part travelogue, part memoir that dives into the hinterland of Croatia. Mary Novakovich explores her ongoing relationship with the region of Lika in central Croatia, where her parents were born.. 'Lika is little known to most travellers - apart from Plitvice Lakes National Park and the birthplace of Nikola Tesla' she says. 'It's a region of wild beauty that has been battered by centuries of conflict. Used as a buffer zone between the Habsburg and Ottoman empires for hundreds of years, Lika became a land of war and warriors. And when Yugoslavia started to disintegrate in 1991, it was here where some of the first shots were fired.'Shipped off to Lika as a child during the supposedly golden years of Tito to stay with relatives she barely knew, Novakovich has been revisiting Croatia ever since, researching the story of her family's often harrowing life: in 1941 her aunt was the only survivor of Serbs massacred by Croatian fascists; and her mother saved her grandmother from being buried alive when she was thought to be dead from typhus.Amidst adversity there is resilience and laughter, too, with plenty of light to balance the shade. Eccentric and entertaining characters abound, showing typically sardonic Balkan humour. And, this being the Balkans, much of daily life revolves around food, which features prominently. Throughout, aspects of Croatian history that relate to Lika are woven into the narrative to give the story some much-needed context. And in recounting her own family's tumultuous history, Novakovich opens up a world that is little known outside the Balkans, telling the stories of people whose experiences weren't widely reported at the time, when the devastation in Croatia was superseded by the Bosnian conflict and media attention moved elsewhere.
