Personal Review: Rick Steves France 2008 by Steve Smith
Rick Steve's France 2009 is the industry standard for excellence in a travel
manual. Rick's approach to travel was unheard of back in the days when I
backpacked across Europe on break as a French student at the University
of Grenoble.
France 2009 will save you hours of time, tons of money and mountains of
embarrassment by giving you the fruit of Rick's expertise in travel in
France.
Some highlights of the book include preparation for travel, intelligent
packing (meaning 'leave most of it at home'), maps, train systems, car
rental, best hotels, restaurants, etc ... Crime is also mentioned and the
traveler is given great tips on how to avoid pickpockets (wear your money
belt).
The appendix includes a nice 'French Survival Phrases' section. Naturally,
since the focus of this book is travel in France and not the study of the
French language, one can appreciate the usefulness of this French
language guide while recognizing its limitations.
For a very fast, easy and inexpensive preparation for speaking with French
natives, try Behind the Wheel French published by Macmillan Audio.
