The updated Green Guide France presents this beautiful country's
star-rated attractions, accompanied by regional introductions, cultural
background, detailed maps and recommendations for a range of great
hotels and restaurants. It's all here: snowy sharp-angled Alps, medieval
castle ruins on rugged mountainsides, world-renowned wine-growing
regions, charming old villages and ancient abbeys inviting exploration,
historic Normandy beaches, green fields patchworked with stone walls,
gastronomic delights--and cosmopolitan Paris with its iconic landmarks
and museums. Michelin ensures you see the best of France. - Attractions
are reviewed and rated, using Michelin's celebrated star-rating system,
from the 3-star iconic, UNESCO site of Mont-St-Michel and carefully
restored old town of St-Malo, to 1-star Concarneau, a bustling, walled
fishing port.- Included are walk-throughs of major museums, galleries,
churches and attractions; plus illustrations and floor plans to focus on
highlights.- Enjoy a walking tour of the 500yr-old town of Vitré with
its castle, ramparts and narrow streets. A driving tour west from
Quimper to the ocean's edge shows the wild side of Brittany where rocks,
waves, sky and sea all mingle in a vast seascape. A bike ride on the
Voie Verte from Mauron to Questembert in Morbihan reveals a calmer
landscape. Travelers discover more of a region through Michelin's
walking and driving tours with comprehensive directions and maps.-
Sidebars appear throughout the guide on various topics ranging from 19C
science fiction author Jules Verne's hometown of Nantes to tide movement
around Mont-St-Michel.- Comprehensive illustrated sections feature 21st
century Brittany, its nature, art, architecture, history, culture and
culinary specialties (think crêpes and buttery galettes!), all written
by experts in their fields.- Detailed visitor information given for
every attraction, opening hours, entry fees, tour times, phone,
website.- Michelin area and city maps help visitors find their way.-
