Overview

The updated Green Guide France presents this beautiful country's star-rated attractions, accompanied by regional introductions, cultural background, detailed maps and recommendations for a range of great hotels and restaurants. It's all here: snowy sharp-angled Alps, medieval castle ruins on rugged mountainsides, world-renowned wine-growing regions, charming old villages and ancient abbeys inviting exploration, historic Normandy beaches, green fields patchworked with stone walls, gastronomic delights—and cosmopolitan Paris with its iconic landmarks and museums. Michelin ensures you see the best of France. • Attractions are reviewed and rated, using Michelin's celebrated star-rating system, from the 3-star iconic, UNESCO site of Mont-St-Michel and carefully restored old town of St-Malo, to 1-star Concarneau, a bustling, walled fishing port.• Included are walk-throughs of major museums, galleries, churches and attractions; plus illustrations and floor plans to focus on highlights.• Enjoy a walking tour of the 500yr-old town of Vitré with its castle, ramparts and narrow streets.
