The Cadogan guides are THE best travel books. And the series on France written by Facaros and Pauls (Provence, Paris, The South of France etc) are amongst the best of the best. Okay, enough hyperbole. If you are a francophile, appreciate good - no, excellent (sorry, enough gushing...) - writing, a real insider's viewpoint and the kind of guidebook to offer masses of info, not just glossy pictures and thumbnail sketches, this book (indeed this series) is for you. Go no further, add this to your 'shopping basket' now.

This book is good to have as a supplement to a more complete guidebook - on its own it is not a very useful guidebook. For many of the entries, they provide useful historical or contextual information, but the pratical is limited. For instance, they mention natural springs that are must sees in one town, but give no information about them at all. Don't rly on this book alone.
