Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Very clear and informative   September 16, 2008
 0 out of 1 found this review helpful

The information in this book is very clearly presented. It's very easy to get the feel for a town before visiting, then use the maps & other information when you get there.

It contains a colour map of the whole area, spread across several pages, and the descriptions of individual towns usually include smaller maps of the town centres or main tourist areas.

There is a section dedicated to the Bayeux Tapestry, which is probably the main "place of interest" in this region.

It doesn't contain comprehensive lists of hotels & restaurants, but it recommends a few for each town. The recommendations we used turned out to be good, and I find this more useful than a list of every restaurant or hotel in the area, regardless of quality.

The style of this book suited my needs on a recent trip - I stayed in Alencon for one night and Bayeux for two nights. This book gave me the information I needed to find a restaurant & identify the main sights quickly & easily. Had I stayed longer I might have wanted more information, but I could have got that from the local tourist office or leaflets once I had been in town a while, so this would probably have still been the right book for me.

I would recommend this bok, but there are so many guidebooks around these days - especially for a place like Normandy - so I would also recommend doing some research to find one that suits you.
