Personal Review: Michelin Green Guide Provence (Michelin
Green Guide: Provence English Edition)

I have lived in France for over two years, and have traveled to over 50
places all over the country.
I have chosen the Provence Green Guide to review because it's my
favorite region; though all of the guides are similar. I might also mention
that I have not actually seen the English version of the Green Guide - I
only use the French ones.
That being said, I have tried and looked at MANY guides of France. The
Green Guide (or Guide Vert) is the best for FRANCE. For other countries
this is not the case.
The maps are useful; the rating system is very, very useful (and pretty
close in my opinion); and the sites they recommend are very good. There
is also a recommended walking path for each city map - a sort of top place
to walk around if you are rushed, during a train layover for example. The
many photos of sites, buildings, and cities is nice; they are often a critical
deciding factor in my travel choices. Though more often than not the
photos dont do justice to the quality of the fantastic places in France.
There are a few things of course i don't like (in terms of selections of sites
et al) but nothing is perfect.
Since the Green Guide is from a French company (Michelin) obviously
they can get a lot of good information and insight into the guides. Best of
all, they have a regional focus. Since I live in France, my need for a
national book is minimal; I only go to more or less one region at a time
over a long weekend or week.
The Green Guides let me take my time, give me travel ideas that a France-
wide guide would not give, and is pretty reliable.
On a separate note, i do not use any of the times for the sites; in France,
opening times are unreliable. You are best off using the net or just taking
your chances.
In the end, whatever your guide, France is a fantastic country for tourism
and it's also wonderful to live in.
