Title: Surprisingly Bad
Product review: You'd think Michelin, a French company, would write an excellent guide to its home country. You'd be wrong, unless you consider information about accomodation and places to eat to be superfluous, which this guide does.What does it contain? Lots of brief explanations of every last tourist site in France. In an effort to be inclusive, it has failed to prioritize, resulting in minor attractions being given nearly the same coverage as major ones. Yes, they rate things using their three-star system, but it's just not enough to distinguish the worthwhile from the merely amusing.The only reason the book merits two stars is the suggested walks provided for various cities.From now on I'm sticking to Lonely Planet. Their guides may be weighed down by unnecessary PC editorializing, but they give you enough logistical information to find places to eat and sleep.
