Rick Steves' Provence and French Riviera 2008
by Rick Steves

From the Rick Steves' series.

Provence and the French Riviera make an intoxicating bouillabaisse of enjoyable cities, warm stone villages, Roman ruins, contemporary art, and breathtaking coastlines--steaming with sunshine and stirred by the wind. There's something about the play of light in this region, where natural and manmade beauty mingle to dazzle the senses and nourish the soul. It all adds up to un formidable vacation.

Throughout 15 years of tour-guiding and writing France guidebooks together, Rick Steves and Francophile Steve Smith have worked hard to discover the most interesting destinations in Provence and the Riviera, giving you tips on how to use your time and money most efficiently. Each of our recommended destinations is a full glass of fine wine--and this book provides instructions on how to enjoy the full bouquet.

This book covers the predictable biggies and mixes in a healthy dose of Back Door intimacy--from jet-setting beach resorts to lost canyons. Along with the Pont du Gard, Nice, and Avignon, we'll introduce you to our favorite villages, wineries, beach walks, and untouristy Roman ruins. You'll marvel at ancient monuments, settle into a shaded café on a small square, take a canoe trip down the lazy Sorgue River, dive headfirst into a Provençal sunset from a magnifique hill-town perch, and discover the ideal beach to call home for a day. You'll feast on a healthy cuisine, heavy on olives, tomatoes, spices, and tasty-yet-affordable wines. Just as importantly, you'll meet the intriguing people who run your hotel, bed-and-breakfast, or bistro.
