This newly designed edition of Travelers' Tales France celebrates the culture, history, and joie de vivre of one of the most beloved -- and most visited -- countries on Earth. Acclaimed writers, including Peter Mayle, M.F.K. Fisher, Jon Krakauer, Mort Rosenblum, Alice Kaplan, and Jan Morris, who have fallen in love with France -- with the food, the land, the irrepressible French people -- provide a mesmerizing literary tour of this special place. Opening many windows onto France, this collection reveals the most important reason to visit: to experience life as it should be. "Pays homage to the good life, as defined by the French." -- Los Angeles Times
