It covers the area from the Rhone to the Italian border, together with the high ground of the Haute Provence. Following a general introduction to the area, the book is structured in the form of guided leisurely itineraries covering all the popular places of interest, events and attractions, together with many lesser-known features. For ease of exploration, the country is divided into six areas. The routes take the reader through old cities, towns and vilages, as well as scenery such as the Verdon Gorge. The Landmark FactFile is a comprehensive listing of all practical information essential for a successful holiday. The book was previously published by Moorland.
