Useful July 14, 2008 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I have to disagree with the reviews given to this guide. It is extremely useful as a back-up in conjunction with the Michelin road atlas when touring. O.k. the sites listed aren't always the type of site you would necessarily spend more than a night or two on, ( although many are ), but it does vet. the sites and gives them a rating as a guide to general standard, and packs plenty of other info. into a small space.It also lists a hell of a lot of sites, so if you are touring using the Michelin road atlas and you need to stop for the night, the atlas indicates, with a symbol, which towns or villages have one or more campsites listed in the camping guide.Find the nearest one on the map, look it up in the guide, and Bob's your proverbial. As for not being able to find the sites, I can't really see a problem. You are usualy given a direction from the named town or village, a road number, and an indication of distance. The rest is up to you.
Not up to the job. July 7, 2008 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Avoid - I'd give it a zero rating if this were possible. This book does have a fairly comprehensive list of campsites throughout France. However, there is NO ADDRESS INFORMATION FOR INDIVIDUAL CAMPSITES, not even postal codes, just rough directions along roads from nearby towns and the telephone number of the nearest tourist office to each site but not the site itself). Oh, it does give you the sites website - very useful when on the road!! Pathetic!
very poor June 25, 2008 5 out of 7 found this review helpful
very poor book, not a thing i was looking for, maybe if you know how to use it than yes. I could not grasp the idea. Waste of money really. Could give my away for just p&p if anyone wants it. Could not find a single place using this book, if you have sat nav, download french camping pois and go with that. cheaper and much better.
