Each book in this highly-respected series offers a selection of the finest -- but not necessarily the most expensive -- lodgings, most shown in high-quality color photos. These are the special places you dream of, but seldom find, including small B&Bs, grand chateaux, historic old homes and rustic lodges. Over 250 are profiled in each pocket-size book, with candid evaluations on everything from service and level of privacy to amenities. Colorful descriptions allow you to get a real feel for each place. Practical information (telephone number, address, price scale, pet policies and seasonal opening times) are given in an easy-to-read format.From bustling Paris to quiet Avignon, France offers great variety. Head for Les Petites Sources, where the owner leads off-piste skiing expeditions. Or visit Chateau de Thoiry to be treated as Lords and Ladies.

This is the independently inspected (no hotel pays to be included) color illustrated guide to charming hotels in France. As in other titles in the series, every entry is more than just a bed for the night: It's an experience worth going out of one's way for. Full-color photos.
