description: In its 7th edition, this best selling Cadogan guide uncovers the hidden corners of one of the most alluring regions of France. Weave through the landscapes that inspired Van Gogh, Cézanne, Matisse, and Renoir, covering a swathe of the country from the Alps to the Pyrenees. Authors Dana Facaros and Michael Pauls, who have lived in France for many years, get to the heart of the region. They reveal the peaceful lavender fields and rolling hills of Provence, and explore its contrasting cities--the salty, bustling port of Marseilles and the elegant university town of Aix-en-Provence. The guide also covers the glamorous French Riviera, where the Cannes film festival is held each year, and dukes and millionaires gamble in the casinos of Monaco. Alongside tempting restaurant reviews, exhaustive travel information and maps, and thorough listings of where to stay, the guide offers an unsurpassed commentary on the world-renowned wine regions of the Rhône, Orange, and Châteauneuf-du-Pape.
