AA Illustrated Guide to France (with Michelin Maps)

France is a country of superlatives: it is the most popular holiday destination in Europe, its cuisine is one of the most famous in the world, it is one of the greatest producers of fine wines and it is blessed with some of the most varied and dramatic natural scenery to be found in Europe.

The Illustrated Guide to France is a beautiful, expertly researched examination of the best the country has to offer―whether that be history, culture, architecture, gastronomy, natural or man-made phenomena or simply the sheer charm and beauty of an isolated hill village or a sun-lit coastline. In each of the 16 designated regions of France, areas have been selected that offer a wide variety of interest. These areas are illustrated with an extract from the Michelin 1:200,000 map of France and information is given about what to do and look out for within the area. There is also a special section devoted to Paris plus feature spreads which highlight particular aspects of a region, such as the Roman influence in Provence or the Beaujolais vineyards.
