Provence and the Cote D'Azur Book

Truly the guides that show you what others only tell you, this book features stunning 3D and cutaway views of museums, cathedrals, and other must-see sights; detailed street maps; a handy phrase section; advice on the best places to eat, drink, shop, sleep, and be entertained; and a Survival Guide to help the traveler sort out essential information such as currency, transportation, and communications. As world traveler and TV personality Michael Palin says, "the Eyewitness Travel Guides are irresistibly seductive.... They also deliver where it matters most -- uncluttered and accurate information." Featuring over 800 full-color photographs, experience the best of Provence, France's sun-blessed southeast corner, with this kaleidoscopic, hands-on travel guide.

Within each regional section, the major towns are showcased, and unique points of interest are highlighted on numerous street-by-street maps that also offer suggested routes for walking and, for drivers, special tips and clearly marked travel routes. Special Visitors' Checklists in the upper right hand corners indicate worthwhile sights and attractions. Galleries, museums, wineries, tours, beaches, annual seasonal festivals, and other attractions are fully detailed throughout. Unique cutaways and floor plans help travelers explore public buildings and historical landmarks -- eliminating the need to purchase additional handbooks.
