The Most Beautiful Villages of Brittany

I loved the book, but I would have liked more pictures of entire villages versus pictures of single streets and buildings. I couldn’t really tell what most of the villages looked like from a distance or overhead. I would have loved a picture of an entire village, that was then followed by their beautiful photos from unique spots in that village. I can tell how gorgeous Brittany is in general by the photos, but not what is special visually about each town they highlighted in this book.

This gorgeous book, with stunning pictures of small villages in Brittany, helped me plan my itinerary and allowed me to make the most of my one month stay.

I bought this book for my wife to help us prepare for a trip to Brittany. I didn't know quite what to expect; would this be just another travel book with beautiful photos taken by professionals with high-end cameras? Would it set us up, or inform us? I am not interested in photos of places that I can never visit, because the photographs have been retouched or were taken on the penultimate day, at the exact moment when the scene was perfect. Most travel books have photos like that, and they are a waste of money to me because that beautiful mountain, lake, church, or winding road will not be what I see, even if I'm standing where the photographer stood.Well, all such angst aside I'm happy to report that Brittany is as beautiful as the pictures in this book! We were, I am happy to report, informed about Brittany, not set up. We were made ready, our senses honed, our hearts opened to the right pitch. Brittany is as beautiful as these photos lead one to believe. Our hope was not in vain!So I heartily recommend this book for travelers who are preparing to go to Brittany, and I commend the work that went into the book: my travel hat is off to Hugh Palmer and James Bentley. Good work, guys! Ok, your camera is better'n mine, but rather than using it to deceive me, you've used it to raise my consciousness. Thank you!

My husband was born in Brittany so I wanted to give these books to my sons so they know where their roots are. The books arebeautifully done with pictures and lovely hard bound cover. My son keeps his at his cider bar since he sells a lot of French cider.A great investment.

After reading this book - and I did it in stages so that I could absorb the beauty - I am already planning my next trip to Brittany. It is an enchanting place, and this lovely coffee table book brings it to life again for me.

Prompt delivery. Small tear in back of dust jacket as advertised. Book in excellent condition. Great photos and informative text

Beautiful book - really enjoy it.

Nice coffee table book for frequent travelers to Brittany.

Bought to identify the best villages to look at when visiting the region as we already have other books in the same series.

Some villages in Brittany are more beautiful than others, and some are not that picturesque. The book is a bi too ‘coffee tableish’ for my taste.

BEAUTIFUL BOOK FULL OF WONDERFUL PHOTOGRAPHS

Love the pictures of places I've visited.
