Frommer's books aren't written by AI (like so many of the no-name brands you see in online bookstores) or by travel writers who simply pop in briefly to a destination and then consider the job done. We hire only seasoned experts?like Anna E. Brooke, Damien Gabet and Tristan Rutherford? journalists who live in France either full-time or part-time, which means their advice doesn't have to be second-guessed. It's savvy, dependable, and not based on one or two short trips to France, but on a lifetime of exploration.

They offer a detail- and tip-rich commentary on France's iconic sights, and will introduce you to local's favorite restaurants, off-the-beaten-path attractions, and shops that few tourists know to visit. So whether you're going to be castle-hopping in the Loire Valley, skiing the French Alps, lounging on the sands of the French Riviera, tippling at Bordeaux wineries, or taking Paris by storm, this book is for you. Vive La France!
