Title: Not the best guide for the casual traveler
Review: First I need to get this out of the way....Yes, I knew this book was in French when I bought it. We were in France in November 2003 for 9 days, and brought this book with us on the reviews listed here. I must say, we rarely used it. The only time it came into good use is in smaller towns when we needed a good hotel. If you are a casual traveler, not looking to eat in 4 star French restaurants, this book is probably not worth the precious space in your luggage, or the $20. Definitely take the Green Guide with you anytime you travel in Europe. It contains the best historical and site information. Pass on the Red Guide, and follow your instincts (or the advice of the concierge) to find good food...and do internet research on hotels before you leave (the info from the red guide in online anyway at www.viamichelin.com).
