This is one of a series in which each book consists of an introduction to one country, its geography, wildlife and habitats; a site guide which forms the bulk of the book and directs the wildlife enthusiast to some of the country's best wildlife sites; and a field guide containing illustrations and text to help in identifying common species of wildlife in the region. Focusing on France, this book features 150 sites, accommodation details and more than 200 of the country's commonest birds and mammals. Bob Gibbons' previous books include Dragonflies of Britain and Europe and Paul Davies is the co-author of Wild Orchids of Britain and Europe.
