Few travelers can resist visiting France---the epitome of picture-book Europe---where enticing attractions range from Loire Valley châteaus and beautiful Provençal villages to lace-curtained Burgundy bistros and Paris’s Louvre. Over 2.5 million Americans visited France in 2005, up 6% from 2004, indicating Americans continue to be smitten with the country.
For the first time, Fodor’s France 2008 offers travelers a host of user-friendly features, including:
• New, magazine-style illustrated features that provide the lowdown on many French attractions, including “Gilt Trip: A Tour of Versailles”; “Lyon: France’s Culinary Cauldron ”; and “Champagne Uncorked.”
• Listings for many towns and villages now include essential sections on bus and train schedules.
• Chapter-opener pages feature annotated maps and “Planner Pages,” with in-the-know tips from experts on how travelers can make the most of their time.
• Two brand-new chapters put the spotlight on a pair of France’s most irresistible destinations: the Dordogne region and the Bordeaux wine country.
• 8-page color insert.
