Michelin Green Guide: Provence (Michelin Green Guides)
Anyone traveling to Provence should purchase ths guide with one caveat. The guide has its own interpretation of where the Provence is. Most Provence guides include the Cote d'Azur and the Gorge de Verdon. This guide does not, The tours shown on the back cover are not well described in the text. One is better advised to use the tour explanations that correspond to the tours indictated in the front cover map.

Rating: - some like it plain
Having just returned form a brief sojourn outside of Avignon(one of numerous visits over the years to the South of France) I found the Green Guide as indispensable as ever.
These oddly shaped, distinctive volumes dispel whatever remains of Peter Mayle's cute and condescending presentation of the region. Here instead is an ancient and noble land of sunlight and wind, which has created strangely shaped stones and mountains surrounding ancient olive groves,endless vineyards, wide rivers, and more ...
