  The French Riviera by Insight Guides

  Price: £14.99    Add to Basket

  Certain to fill one with pre-trip inspiration, this weighty volume offers plenty to read on local culture and history and is crammed with colour photographs. Once there the sightseeing guidelines are useful enough, but in other practical areas it is perhaps lacking.
