French Bed And Breakfast

Description

The first of the "Special Places" series, this established guide is a bestseller. With its huge variety and range of good value places to stay, it's an indispensable guide for those travelling round France - it is as much about making good friends as staying in really beautiful homes. Fresh, informative write-ups are backed up by excellent maps and directions, symbols and quick reference indices. Our approach is unusual. There are no set rules, no interminable checklists and no hard-and-fast criteria for inclusion. We look for what we like, and celebrate the unusual, the beautiful and the individual.
