Reviews: France

While we recommend and support good book shops as the obvious place to buy a Blue Guide, we also provide functionality from these pages to order copies for immediate delivery from Amazon.  One of the advantages of this for us is that we can see the excellent rankings and feedback from readers that our titles receive, in itself rewarding for our authors, editors and production team, who put an enormous amount of work into publishing “the best-researched, best presented guide books in the English language”. Here are some recent comments.

The Blue Guides are the best guides for people who really want the details of museums and historical sites. There are very few restaurant and hotel suggestions; use a different guide for those. I use these wherever I travel and I have learned a lot from reading them as I visit a site.

This told me everything I wanted to know about my reason for visiting Paris. That was to immerse my wife and myself in the art of the M. d’Orsey. Thanks to the book we also spent time in the wonderful M. de l’Orangerie. We also used two of the walking routes which were a brilliant way of seeing Paris as it were, behind the scenes.

Best guide books for architecture, museums and galleries

I’ve been using Blue Guides for over forty years and they really are the best guide books for architecture, museums and galleries. I usually use them in tandem with a Rough Guide or a Lonely Planet guide which are better for hotels, restaurants and shopping. The Blue Guides are not cheap but, as ever, you get what you pay for, quality costs money. I’ve found they don’t become as out of date quite as quickly as the other guide books mentioned above. Highly recommended.
