Cadogon Guides South Of France

Mediterranean France arouses the senses with its heady cocktail of light and color, and the Cadogan guide serves it up with verve. It's all here: the arty, chic Riviera, sunny Provencal villages perches, the serene Canal du Midi, dramatic Roman ruins, cloud-topped Cathar castles, the mysterious Camargue with its white horses, Catalan southern Roussillon, and the sublime landscapes that inspired Van Gogh and Cezanne, Dufy and Matisse - all scented by a sun-warmed bouquet of lavender, violet, mimosa, lemon and wine. Dynamic cities such as Nice, Marseille, Nimes, Montpellier and Perpignan contrast with the serenity of rural Herault, with mountain wildernesses and national parks, and there are markets to explore and restaurants to rival Paris's finest. Inside you will find: * Practical travel advice * Over 600 hotels, chambres d'hote and auberges * Over 450 restaurants, bars, brasseries and cafes * 60 maps and town plans * color touring-map section * stunning color photography * regional wines: where to taste and where to buyFacaros, Dana is the author of 'Cadogon Guides South Of France ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781860111853 and ISBN 1860111858.
