The LP has much to recommend it. Here are the highlights:
-excellent maps with accurate scale and bilingual markers
-good breadth without sacrificing too much depth
-great for people who want to leave the tour groups and package tours behind (it's much cheaper to go solo!)
-a good selection of restaurants and hotels in different price ranges
-good descriptions of main attractions and how to get to them
-a pretty good language section with some of the survival words and phrases you will need

Lonely Planet has City and Out To Eat Guides. They are all about the experience so they focus on doing, being, getting there, and this means they have the best detailed information, including both inexpensive and really spectacular restaurants and hotels, out-of-the-way places, weird things to see and do, the list is endless.
The book definitely proved useful in my first experience with LP guides: if it didn't already have the information, it would at least point you in the right direction as to where to get it. Though the information for big cities like NY, San Fran and Chicago are limited, it's extremely easy to pick up free guides in those cities anyways, so it doesn't matter too much.
I expect to use a book like this to help me plan a trip. It should be organized by region so I can decide among things that are close by. And I need the kind of information that goes beyond just listing the sites: is it crowded, charming, dangerous, and special?
This book tries to answer these questions with a personal tone. As I read it I start to get a sense of the writer's personalities and tastes, so that I can gauge my agreement with their opinions.
I wish the hotel and restaurant reviews shaded towards the high end a bit more. But I haven't found a series (I also have their guides to Europe and Mexico) that I can trust as well as this one. |

I have used this guidebook on my first visit to France. It is a distinguished guide. This guidebook has better maps than any other guidebook I have used when traveling through Italy, Spain, and Holland. I explored several places listed in the book, and it helped make France an experience to remember. You won't need any other book for France if you get this one. |

It's very simple. You could be dropped into France with this book and the clothes on your back and you'd be completely fine. This is the one indispensable book for travel in France. I spent almost a month running around France with this book, and it's the best. It will get you closer to the stuff that is not mentioned in *any* guidebook than any other travel guide. |

Lonely Planet's "France: Travel Survival Kit" was essential to the success of our 21 day journey in France. My boyfriend and I did know where we were headed or what we wanted to do. Using this well organized, precise guide we found ourselves hiking cliffs in Brittany and wondering back roads in Cote d'Azur.
We were new to the country and traveling by train. The first 160 pages of the guide were packed with all the many essentials of travel - trains, monetary system, and telephone cards - the little things that make a huge difference. Who wants to spend the first few hours in France trying to figure out how the phones work?
We wanted to see France, not a heap of tourist attraction wizzing by us. Everywhere we went; this guide showed us the not so traveled places. Even in busy Paris, with help from our trusty guide, we visited flea markets and neighborhoods where tourists don't often venture. These were the places that gave us the real flavor of France.
I loved my trip to France. I can honestly say, due to this guide I was able to relax and enjoy the visit more. We relied upon it for finding accommodations and entertainment. It never failed us. We love you, Lonely Planet
