With country roads winding through vine-striped hills and stretches of coastal sands interspersed with misty islands, the Atlantic coast is where France gets back to nature. More laid-back than the Med (but with almost as much sunshine), this is the place to slow the pace right down.

This guide includes up-to-date reviews of the best places to stay, eat, sights, cultural information, maps, transport tips and a few best kept secrets - all the essentials to get to the heart of the Atlantic Coast.

Coverage includes:

• Understanding France: France Today, History, The French, Bon Appetit, French Wine, The Arts, Architecture, Lyrical Landscapes
• Nantes, Poitiers & around, La Rochelle, Ile de Re, Cognac & around, Borceaux, St- Emilion and Arcachon & around
