Provence Made Easy: The Best Sights and Walks of Provence and the French Riviera (Open Road Travel Guides)

Like Open Road's series of foreign language menu-readers, our new compact lightweight travel guides are for those travelers who already know where they're staying and don't want to lug around a huge book during the day. With a sprinkling of restaurant selections, our Europe Made Easy series focuses on taking readers to the best, as well as the most different and unusual, sights and walking tours. Tuck this guide into your pocket and head out for a great day of sightseeing: you'll have over 100 sights at your fingertips, from the Papal Palace in Avignon to the mysterious spring in Fontaine-de-Vacluse, from the Roman amphitheater in Nimes to the strange stone huts near Gordes. Features insider tips on hip cafes, sidebars on great places to eat, interesting shops, fun outdoor markets, suggestions on where best to sample Provence's world-famous wines, and beautiful walks in Provence's loveliest towns, including a wine-themed walk in Chateauneuf-du-Pape; a stroll through medieval Avignon; a baroque walking tour of Aix; and a Roman-era walk through Arles. Bonus excursion info on the French Riviera. Attractive design features a second color on the inside.
