I bought this book because I actually emenager of vines in France and I would like to see all the beautiful things of this wonderful country. I wanted to find the Routard but no Routard for all France in one book! There are many books on each region of France ... so I had to choose between the Lonely planet guide and the Guide Hachette ... I prefer Lonely Planet, ca contains more information. This is a very useful book, which also gives you good addresess, hotels, restaurants, clubs, bars but also addresses lavanderies and internet cafes. Well as on all the touristic attractions, with very interesting information, often funny and personal impressions (which in fact are very objective, I had the same impressions by visiting the various attractions). In short, a very useful book, and with a touch personelle..seul lack there are not many pictures. Last thing, do not forget that the book is in English!
