If you are planning a trip to France, make the AAA France TravelBook: 2001 Edition your constant traveling companion, planning guide and reference!

Handy handbook

I have just discovered that this book is written by the columnist Laurence Phillips, and there are many glimpses of the fireside chat friendly style enjoyed by those of us Europeans who read his travel anecdotes in The Canada Post and swear by his food and travel books, such as his Eurostar guide Paris+Lille+Brussels. Obviously, the AAA Travelbook being a guide to most of France, there are fewer of his trademark gossipy rambles off-topic, but there is still plenty of local colour. His diversions into the secret hideaways of George Sand and Chopin are delightful, as are his stories of music and wine festivals around the country. A useful companion piece to his other books for fans, and, with its walks and drives, a reliable guidebook for serious travellers aiming to see the best of France this year.
