  Completely revised and updated for 2007, Let's Go France is researched and compiled entirely by students who know first-hand how to see the world on the cheap. This guide has insider tips and information for the socially conscious traveller and is more useful and opinionated than ever.

  With its lavish chateaux, fields of lavender, medieval streets, and sidewalk cafes, France rightfully conjures any number of postcard-ready scenes. From their pungent cheeses to their elaborate fashions, the French have the original je ne sais quoi. It makes their pastries impossibly intricate, their cuisine exquisite, their craftsmanship impeccable, and their wines divine. Centuries-old farms and churches share the landscape with inventive, often stunning, modern architecture; street posters advertise jazz festivals as well as Baroque concerts. Even the countryside ranges from the misty islands off the coast of Brittany to the dazzling turquoise waters of the Riviera to the giant lava needles of the Auvergne. France promises to be a fantastic experience for the most urbane city-phile and for the most adventurous outdoor enthusiast alike.
