Description
Sunflower Landscape Guide – Eastern Provence
This guide book, half of a two-volume set, is intended for motorists who want to tour eastern Provence and the Côte d’Azur by car and enjoy some superb walks en route.
The car tours have been described in such detail that there is no need to make constant reference to a map. Each drive highlights the best picnic spots en route, recommended walks and restaurants which particularly appeal to the authors.
The walks selected – all set in areas of great natural beauty and historical interest – are those the authors believe offer the greatest sense of satisfaction for the effort involved. These are not tough GR routes, but mostly circular walks suitable for moderately fit people.
10 car tours (with two accompanying touring maps, showing both eastern and western Provence for which there is a companion guide), 70 long and short walks (each illustrated with 1:50,000 topo maps), 41 picnic suggestions. Free online update service with specific route change information on the publisher’s website, maintained daily.
The ‘Landscapes’ series, with 50 destinations, has been dubbed ‘the blue Bibles’ by the Sunday Times and led to Sunflower being one of only four publishers (from a field of 18) chosen as a Which? Recommended Provider of Guidebooks.
