Complete, Consise, Hip - By: Florence Chatzigianis (Author of 26 Gorgeous Hikes), 27 Aug 2008 
Here's a practical guidebook that isn't dry & boring!
It includes plenty of detailed info on places to see & things to do, & it's written in a lively hip style for an easy read & reference.
As an adopted local, I can tell that the tips on what to do have been thoroughly researched & tested. What's inside? You might learn about the Lavender Festivals with their colourful parades & floats, but the book will also let you in on how to discover fragrant lavender-strewn hills with a donkey, or with a bike. You'll learn about the Via Ferrata of Haute-Provence. You'll experience the scents of Grasse flowery perfumes. You'll read about the Top 5 St Tropez legendary beaches.
The highlighted activities are geared toward a young to mid-aged crowd.
The accommodation section is helpful & organized by price (Budget, Midrange, Top end). Ditto for restaurants.
My only criticism is that the book lacks in photos. Only a few are squeezed in a couple of up-front sections.
Still, it's one of my favorite local guides: complete, lively & recommended.
A top guide for a top place - By: , 03 May 2001 
At long last I've got my hands on a well-written & lively guide to this fun part of the world. The author takes you round the region with solid assurance that this is the place to be, & gives you a real insight its culture & heritage. The recipes are a useful addition & the wine-tasting hints & wine map of the region give it something that would-be wine buffs (like me) will find useful. The pictures are pleasing & the text is accurate, & though the book is not as good a companion as my dog, it aided my trip no-end.
For something honest & often amusing, look no further.
Sun, Sea and some very good info. - By: james.cloney@miradorsoftware.com, 05 Apr 2001 This book like the Lonely Planet France is very easy to use & is filled with a wealth of information ranging from the cheap places to stay but also the best things to see & do. Unlike other travel books it is very readable. It is well worth buying as alll the information I used seemed to be bang up todate, it saved me time & money.
