|Beautiful photos + interesting reading,
This is a beautiful coffee table book. It covers all of the regions of France and the major towns in each region. It has beautiful photos and contains interesting detailed information about each town – its history and what it is famous for – wine, food and other things.

|Disappointing,
The potential of this book was unrealised. I found that the images of these “beautiful” towns were not that beautiful. Colour often washed out and missing the captivating images the towns possess. I didn’t gain much useful information about the food and wine of the areas apart from a product linked to the town. Something of good restaurants or dishes in each town would have been more rewarding.
