Frommer's Provence & the Riviera Day by Day features gorgeous color photos of the sights and experiences that await you. Our author, a longtime resident of France, hits all the highlights, from riding the white horses of the Camargue to visiting ancient Roman sites, like the Roman Arena in Nimes. She's checked out all the region's best hotels and restaurants in person, and offers authoritative, candid reviews that will help you find the choices that suit your tastes and budget. You'll also get special interest tours focusing on food and wine, art and architecture, families, and gardens; regional driving tours take in the vineyards, lavender fields, and the coastline from Marseilles to Cassis; an outdoors section recommends the best bike rides, hikes, golfing, and horseback riding; accurate neighborhood maps; and in-depth tours of charmings towns and villages such as Arles, Aix-en-Provence, and St. Tropez. Frommer's Provence & the Riviera Day by Day also includes a color fold-out map.
This book is absolutely fantastic! It's small and concise while still being detailed enough for a short trip to the French Riviera. It offers several suggestons for how to spend 1, 2 or 3 days, or even a week. On our transatlantic cruise, we visited Cannes, Nice, Antibes, St. Paul de Vence and Monaco/Monte Carlo... all of which are found in the book. The book is detailed without being too big (or too small) and includes a great fold-out map. Buying a whole book on France or a larger guidebook on the Riviera was more info and bulk than we needed for a short one-day trip around the Riviera. I highly recommend any book in this series. Nice color without being too much fluff.
