Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐It’s great

⭐I am a native of France and I found this book extremely useful. It contains much valuable information on the technicalities that can make or break a trip.( For example: how to get to and from the airport, how to buy a bus or subway ticket, how do obtain train schedules, etc…) As far as sights and accommodations, I agree with a previous reviewer that it is a bit lacking. Nevertheless, it is a book I will definitely take with me on my next trip despite its large size. One thing that I appreciated is that although it shows some humor, it is not so filled with cheap jokes (like a couple of books of the same kind that I’ve read) as to make the content more annoying than it is useful.

⭐This book stinks. It lacks entire regions of France. For example, it omits the Dordogne, which is a large, economical for the traveler, region of beautiful countryside replete with prehistoric cave art and medieval castles. There are no photographs. Descriptions of lodgings are few and good budget lodgings nearly nonexistent. Despite having such little information, the book is large, thick, and heavy. This is not a book to carry around with you during your travels. I’m not sure who this book is designed for.
